    Just keep plugging away. My mums just been through it and we got there! It’s very hard draining. But with good friends and family he will get there! You get bad days and not so bad  days with chemo. And you don’t know when they’ll be. I’d just recommend not to push with eating. It’s hard to accept or understand that your appetite is just gone and the chemo obviously makes that worse and you’re really tired. So just grazing On little bits, I came across a really good company which send a bag of goodies with people going through it. It’s called the treatment bag  if you ever want any advice or just experiences I’m always open for a chat because it really helped me talking about it. My mum managed dog walks with me and my dog whilst having chemo. Just in a two week period towards the end of that or right after she would always be up for a walk. It. Done her great getting out in the air. 

  • Hi and welcome to the Online Community and to Carers. I can recommend this blog written by . He wrote it for the breast cancer group but the chemo aids shopping list is a godsend and  goes for chemo for all cancers. It's a mine of information, including good foods to eat and avoid.
