since my dad finished his first round of chemo he has been very dizzy and his legs go into spasms as if he is taking a fit, he is very forgetful now and not eating much or drinking much. it is getting scary now . we moved dad in to our house as he lived alone but i must admit i am getting frightened and dont know if i can be any good at this. when i wake in the morning i lie in bed and listen to see if he is up and about. he has fell twice since his leg started shaking and he has to hold on to the wall sometimes as he is so dizzy. is this just the chemo or is it the cancer. i took him to the gp on monday as i was worried about it but the just took blood and sent him home i dont think they realise just how scared i am in the house on my own i keep looking at dad looking for signs of something happening and i feel so bad
