Chemo

Hi Lin601

My mum was told to take a flask of tepid water ( not boiling ) and start sipping it if she felt it coming on . Wrap your mouth up with a big scarf when leaving the hospital . 
My mum had it once and they slowed her infusion which resolved it .

All the very best .

Thank you Court, do you know if your Mum wore scarf/tops at home just to keep spasms at bay. Wasn't really sure when left hospital as they just said to keep face covering on and put on scarf when I left. Thanks

Hi ,

The only time my mum had an issue was straight after chemo infusion and going home . I had the house nice and warm and a nice bowl of homemade soup . Straight to bed and slept it off .

She wore wee gloves and socks after that but not a scarf inside .

Thank you Court feel a bit awkward asking questions as don't usually message, but am going to try as finding info given by hospital very hit and miss.
