Hi Tania
You are so strong, helping your mum and also yourself suffering Crohns.My sisters mother-in-law suffers Crohns, so I know its not nice.
Yes, as Jaci advised, you need to keep a diary of your mums side effects. As the nurses/doctors can try to help with these.
I haven't started chemo as yet, (will be on Friday 27/4/12), but I will be keeping a diary and speaking to the nurses/doctors about anything I don't feel comfortable with.
I hope your mum doesn't stop chemo, she needs to know that sometimes you need to feel sick to get better. It's all a game of snakes and ladders. We need to climb the ladders but at times the snake just takes you down a little. But eventually you will be at the finish line.
Please post your comments and feelings, as this website isn't just for us, but for you as well to ask for advice and just to talk.
Hope all goes well, and we all send our positive thoughts and love to your mum and you..
Take care Julie XX
