All gingers: crystallized (The Ginger People make great stuff), dried,
teas, or St. Claires Ginger pastilles, are all good for mitigating
nausea. You might want to choose the least amount of sugar, though.
Good luck.
Be well,

Hi All
I'm about to undergo a course of Chemotherapy and Herceptin followed
by surgery for an aggressive breast and lymph node cancer.
Can I first of all please ask, no advice not to have it. I find that
really upsetting as it's already a done deal and will be going ahead.
What I was hoping someone could advise me is what to take to mitigate
the effects of the chemo. I already have M.E. so am laid up a lot of
the time in bed with that with accompanying shakes, nausea, dizziness
and swollen glands. Obviously the chemo will make all this worse so is
there anything I can take to ease the side effects?
Thanks in advance
Kirsteen
