Hi All,
About 1 and , my mom got diagnosed with tumor, She had surgery which removed around 90% of tumor, radiation and a year long oral chemotherapy. She survived and recent MRI also came clean which is a big relief.
1st 6 months were better in this journey. Even though we all were in shock, she showed speedy recovery, was doing her day to day work and was independent.
For last 6 months ,The problem we are facing is loss of appetite , dizziness, confusion while speaking (mostly using wrong words) and loss physical strength. I would like to seek help of this community to check is it common after a 12 months Chemo (5 days a month). And is there anything we can do to get her back to normal life ?
Thanks in advance for your support !
Hi Alk_Care and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
That's great to read that you mom had a clear scan so I'm sorry to read about her subsequent problems.
The online community is divided into different support groups but, as you haven't said what type of cancer your mom is being treated for, I can't give you a direct link to connect with others who have the same type of cancer as her.
If you are happy to tell me what type of cancer she has I can supply you with a link. Alternatively you could look through this list and choose the appropriate group. Once you've joined a group, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
It would be great if you could put something about your mom's diagnosis and treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
