Leukaemia survivor here... It might be a stupid question and everyone is different, but have you tried fresh fruit and ginger ale? I went through six months where that was all I could eat/drink. Another patient in the ward suggested ginger ale and it was a surprise (had never drank it before... or since). Nausea got so bad that even thinking about it (for example when a doctor asked) would trigger throwing up so I get what you mean about PTSD. All my best wishes for you both.

Not stupid at all!! For a while apple slices and peanut butter were a staple but she throws that up regularly now. Blueberries are still good if mixed with something, a little watermelon. Haven’t tried ginger ale, but will pick some up today. She says she doesn’t like it but we’ll give it a shot. Thanks for the suggestion!

  Fresh ginger tea (using a finger length of whole ginger root, minced) works really, REALLY well for nausea.
