Checking in again after starting treatment

I gotta tell ya, after two weeks I already feel like death. Part of it is that I have lost all my appetite, my stomach is just unhappy whenever I have anything by mouth or via the tube. Spoke to the dietician yesterday, she thinks it might be constipation so I am taking more Miralax and Senna. My weight is fluctuating and I do need to stabilize it, but hard to do with your stomach in knots. Anyone have any magical solution that I have not thought of?

I was given 3 different prescriptions for anti nausea meds at the start of cisplatin. There was a whole protocol of when to take them and if one doesn't work how to take the next. I didn't need them but, I wonder if that's what's bugging you? Maybe ask your oncologist about that. I know some patients on it have serious gut problems. Hope you can find relief.
