Members shared their experiences managing nausea and appetite loss during chemotherapy, with most finding relief through anti-nausea medications added to their IV saline before infusions, though some still required additional prescriptions at home. Several members described how low blood counts and electrolyte imbalances, particularly potassium levels that were either too high or too low, required transfusions or dietary changes and sometimes worsened nausea symptoms.
