CancerNausea.com
Thanks to MIKE O’KEEFE, Research Nurse and Cancer Nursing Society Committee member, for this review.
This site provides online information and support for patients suffering from nausea and vomiting (N&V) associated with cancer. It identifies causes of N&V associated with cancer, such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery and the effects of the disease itself, and offers interesting and useful details such as the statistical data related to the incidence of N&V associated with each treatment modality.
It covers treatment methods, dietary and symptom advice and hints for patients on talking to health professionals, and also provides a symptoms diary. As this is an American website, some links may not be relevant to patients in this country, but may be interesting nonetheless. The site is easy to access and follow, and will be a useful resource for both patients and health care professionals.
