Hello Brave Triumphant Ladies!
As many of you know, my mom''s undergoing chemo for stage 4 thymus cancer. I was hoping you might pass along some advice about managing a particular side effect that is driving her nutty.
Basically, every time she thinks about drinking fluids, she gets nauseous, and it is really hard to keep down enough water. For some reason, it is more fluids than anything else making her queasy.
Any suggestions? Did any of you have this aversion to fluids with chemo? How did you overcome it?
