Feeling sick can make a treatment day difficult long before you arrive at the clinic. For some people, nausea also becomes linked to the journey, smells or surroundings associated with an earlier appointment.

Reduce Chemotherapy Nausea is a self-hypnosis recording from Uncommon Knowledge, sold through Hypnosis Downloads. Its themes include relaxation and the expectations associated with treatment-related nausea. It is a complementary support product, not a treatment for cancer.

Understanding the nausea you are experiencing

Anticipatory nausea can occur before treatment after previous experiences of sickness. Nausea can also develop during or after chemotherapy for other reasons. Your care team can help assess the pattern and plan appropriate support, including anti-sickness medicine.

Points to consider

Hypnosis is among the approaches considered for anticipatory nausea, but that does not establish that this particular commercial recording will work for you. If you are interested, ask your team whether a recording or referral to someone experienced in cancer care would be appropriate.

Keep taking prescribed medicines as directed. Tell your team if symptoms are not controlled, and contact them promptly if you cannot keep fluids down. Listening is not a reason to delay care or try to manage severe symptoms on your own.
