Nausea
Nausea means feeling sick and can sometimes result in vomiting. Nausea is a common symptom for many progressive illnesses and can be quite tiring.
For cancer patients, nausea may be caused by cancer treatment drugs such as chemotherapy. For others it can be caused by the illness itself.Nausea and vomiting can sometimes be treated with anti-sickness drugs. If you are already known to the Hospice and are experiencing sickness and vomiting, ask your doctor about anti-sickness drugs.
