Hi Tonya, thanks for the welcome, It is hard seeing someone who was SO strong become so weak and unable to think straight... so I'm hoping she improves a bit tomorrow that will be day 6. this morning she woke up nauseated and had another headache. I'm getting her to check her temperature and also reminding her to rinse her mouth out with salt water 4 times a day, she's been that foggy in the head that she's forgetting to take her normal daily medications, so I'm on to that!! Being a Dispensary Technician in Pharmacy I know my drugs, hahahaha. We've been given the phone numbers of the Breast Care nurses at the hospital, they told us they would ring Mum a few days after her first round... we've heard nothing yet. Can I just ask a stupid question?? I have infusions every 8 weeks for my Crohns and the nurses always do our obs (even after 4 years of having them) , yet when I went with Mum for her first Chemo, the nurse checked her obs before they started, but didn't check her whilst her Chemo was being infused... to me that doesn't make any sense!! Anyways it's great to get some answers and support
Luv
Tania
