Question: "I am 54 years old and had an autologous stem cell transplant 16 days ago. I still have nausea - how long will this last?"

Recovery after a stem cell transplant takes time, and nausea is a common side effect that can persist for several weeks. Each person's recovery journey is different, but many patients start feeling better gradually over the first few months post-transplant.

It's important to:
• Follow your doctor's dietary recommendations
• Take any prescribed anti-nausea medications as directed
• Stay hydrated
• Rest when needed
• Report severe or worsening symptoms to your healthcare team Remember that the first 100 days after transplant are crucial for recovery. Many patients report that their symptoms, including nausea, gradually improve during this period. If your nausea is severe or affecting your ability to eat and drink, contact your healthcare team as they may be able to adjust your medications or provide additional support.
