Lynda, thank you so much for looking after your Mum, it means the world to have someone be there for you. I took extra maxalon all the way thru for my 3 week cycles, also went back into the Onc clinic every 2-3 days for Iv fluids.

As Alice said, talk to the Doc and arrange the extra meds your Mum needs. Mention the bladder trouble too, just in case it's an infection. As for the tiredness, lots of rest, gentle exercise and TLC. Let us know how you both get on, we are here for you too xx
