I have only done a bit of chemo so far @NikkiLea - others would have more info and there are women here who have gone through it on their own. My chemo is AC. I found I needed more meds for nausea which impact on my ability to drive. I'm absolutely out for the count for a couple of days - I can do very little other than go to bed. It's important to contact the oncology centre should the stuff they send your Mum home with is not good enough. For me, the first treatment was the worst but I believe that the last can be a doozy, too. Everyone is different! It's important not to overdo it. Let everything go that's not essential. I made sure that I had some meals prepared that could be thawed but I've got a family to feed. I guess it also depends on how strong and independent she is at the moment. If she qualifies for any services, she should give it a go but you may have to suggest that again when she works out how chemo affects her. Good Luck
