Mum's first chemo session
Hi, my mum will be having her first ever chemo session early next week. The oncologist will treat her with Paclitaxel and treatment will be once a week for 4 weeks followed by 1 week break each cycle...
Mum had her right lung drained last Monday and left lung drained today. She is recovering in hospital and will have first chemo treatment on Wednesday. A dietitian came to see mum today and gave us some suggestions about diet. Mum's oncologist said water is a must or mum's kidney's won't cope which will be disastrous. My main challenge will be to keep mum hydrated.Thank you all for well wishes, advice and flowers @jennyss, @Afraser, @Abbydog, @kazb, @arpie.
