    Just as I predicted mum bounced back from her low mood.  She got up this morning at 11.30am, had a shower, got dressed and was raring to go by 1pm.  We went and did some food shopping before spending some time wandering round the clothes shops.  Mum bought herself 3 tops and then we went to Franky & Bennys for tea.  We had a really nice time and it felt very normal.  She refused point blank to use the wheelchair and coped…

    Mum still feeling nauseous this morning when I left for work and was actually nearly sick when trying to take her medication first thing.  We are not sure if it is the chemo causing the problem or the antibiotics.

    Christine mums CNS has rung mum today to check how she's doing.  Mum told her about feeling sick and Christine thinks it could be the antibiotics.  She's told mum to wait until she finishes the antibiotics…
