Evening, here I am yet again reaching out for support and guidance. My mum is on her 1st of 5 cycles for stage 3 colorectal cancer. We are just coming to the end of week one of medication. Last night she had to go to A&E as spiked a temp of 37.7. Our local hospital, probably like so many up and down the country was overrun and we had a gruelling 3.5 hrs wait before they took bloods and finally gave her the IV antibiotics. Bloods came back ok apart from a CRP of 28. She was sent home at midnight on a 5 day course of oral co- amoxiclav . My question is she now has diarrhoea this could be the chemo or antibiotics. It just seems one thing after another at the moment, we are only on cycle one and have already had a trip to A&E. can I ask as the cycles go on do the symptoms get worse ?
