Hello nipj,
Thanks for posting.
This sounds very distressing for you both. We are unable to respond to forum posts over the weekend, but it looks like you had some support and helpful information from our forum community.
Hopefully when your partner was discharged from A and E, she was given information about what to do over the remainder of the weekend.
As you will have seen, different anti-sickness medications are available. One of these or an alternative combination can be more effective than another in controlling nausea and vomiting in an individual. Hopefully you or your partner will be able to get some advice from her chemotherapy team today so any ongoing nausea can be controlled and something different given for her next cycle of EC.
Your partner may be interested in the range of services we offer. This includes our monthly chemotherapy threads where people can support each other as they go through chemotherapy at the same time.
You are both welcome to call our helpline if you would like to talk this through or have any further questions. The helpline team have time to listen, talk things through and signpost you to more support and information if necessary. Your call will be confidential, and the number is free from UK landlines and all mobile networks. The number is 0808 800 6000, (Relay UK -prefix 18001).
If you would prefer one of our nurses to call you. To do this, please complete this form ticking the box agreeing to a call back.
Our usual opening hours are Monday to Friday 9am - 4pm and 9am -1pm on Saturday.
Out of hours you can leave a message and we will call you back when we next open.
Best wishes
Jane
Breast Care Nurse
