Hello,

I have finished 3 RTX and 1 Cisplatin sessions as of last Friday. I have constant hiccups that recur almost every hour and last anywhere between 10 and 45 minutes each time. I called the after hours number and the doctor on call suggested that I take the prescribed medication for nausea and vomitting. I have done this, but it has not helped. I am drinking tons of water but the hiccups do not go away. As a result of the hiccups and the nauseous feeling I have not been able to get much nutrition today (possibly about a third of what I normally consume). Can someone give me some advise please?

Thanks in advance.
