I have been in remission for five years now but recently I have been fine but then get nauscious and start throwing up out of no where. This has happened three times. Has anyone else experienced this?

You are definitely not alone in this! Many MyLymphomaTeam members report that both nausea and fatigue can linger long after treatment ends — sometimes for months or even years.

It's really important to let your care team know how you're feeling, as persistent symptoms deserve attention and management. For fatigue, some things that may help include:
- Short bursts of gentle exercise — it sounds counterintuitive, but movement can actually boost energy levels
- Pacing yourself — letting others know when it's not a good day
- Talking to a social worker about community support resources
- Asking your care team about any underlying causes like anemia or sleep disturbances
For nausea, options can include:
- Anti-nausea medications prescribed by your doctor
- Eating cold, bland foods which tend to be easier to tolerate
- Using plastic cutlery if metallic tastes are an issue
- Working with a therapist to help manage the emotional and physical response to nausea
Two years is a long time to be dealing with both — definitely worth a thorough conversation with your oncologist to rule out any contributing factors and find a management plan that works for you.
