Hi Shelly
Such a scary situation for you...and your Mum!
I can relate to what your Mum is going through...although the poor woman is suffering alot more with the chemo than what I had to!
I finished my chemo in Jan this year after lumpectomy & subsequent mastectomy....now on hormone therapy (tamoxifen).
Check out my previous blogs if you like but in a nutshell, I had a few hospital stays caused by low blood cell count (from infection) during chemo. After each subsequent chemo I had to administer Neulasta which resulted in me not having any further problems with the treatment.
As Robyn said, it is just bad luck your Mum contracted tonsilitis....and she will hopefully sail through her future chemo sessions! As for your Mums mood, this had the biggest effect on me! My mind was in a bad way....I have 2 children & going through chemo during Xmas school holidays was dreadful for us all.
With your support & keeping the oncologist informed of her side effects I'm sure your Mum will get through it.
Sending you good wishes & positive thoughts, Jen x
