“How long do chemo side effects last?”
My daughter started chemotherapy recently for her cancer, and she experiences a few gastrointestinal side effects, like nausea. Is it common for this nauseous feeling to pass?
1 Answer
I’m sorry to hear that your daughter is having persistent nausea. Many chemotherapy regimens have nausea and vomiting as side effects. The symptoms generally only last a short time, mostly a few days at most. There are anti-nausea drugs that can be taken to make this symptom subside. It is important to ask her doctor to prescribe medications to take care of this symptom. It is also important to be certain that she can take in orally enough fluids and solid food to maintain her overall health. Good luck in dealing with this.
