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...
@Abbydog thanks for thinking of us. Mum did OK with the first chemo session, second one coming up this Thursday. The oncologist has set up for treatment once a week for 3 weeks then a 2 weeks break. Mum is due to start her second cycle at the end of August. She has had morning nausea and I am now giving her anti nausea medicine first thing in the morning to try and prevent it. Apart from that just the usual lack of appetite.
Mum is spending her days in bed resting and trying to keep warm Hopefully she won't have too many nasty side effects as treatment progresses. It's been hard trying to get her to eat and drink enough but I'm doing my best by giving her foods that are warm and that she enjoys.
