Side effects of Chemo

Less than one minute read time.

Hi All,

I haven't been on-line for a few months as my lovely mum passed away in Jan after her battle with cancer.  Hard to try and carry on with day to day life but you have to and soem days are better than others.  Shorlty after going through this, my boyfirends mum was diagnosed with cancer of the ovaries and bowel.  She is only 48 and has had 5 sessions of chemo now, which has been working so far.  Surgey has been talked about but has now been put on hold for some reason. 

As my mum had radiotherapy I don't know alot about chemo and if anyone has any experiences that might be helpful that would be great.  My boyfriends mum has been fine all the way through chemo up until the past 2 weeks and has been sick, tired all the time and is being taken into Christies hospital today.

    Hi Jen..chemo effects us all so differently, it depends on many things, what type cancer, what stage, what strength, what combinations of chemo are used. Sickness and tiredness can be normal my love. The ones to ask are your boyfriends mums medical team, they can give you all some answers. Take care...love Carol x
