Hello all, just looking for some help/advice for my lovely mum. She's just had her 2nd chemo/immuno on Monday and is so washed out and tired. I am encouraging her to eat more (if she can) and given her a list of good foods to keep the calories and energy up. She takes a shot of wheatgrass each day and she said this has helped her.
She is really struggling with the tiredness and lack of energy, and i don't honestly know what to suggest to her, it is so hard seeing her like this. We know treatment will make her feel like this, but is there anything that can honestly help? She said her legs feel weak at times too. Must be so hard for her as she has always been such an active woman, and i know this is emotionally getting her down too.
Mum has been more teary and a little angry, i'm not sure if this is all hitting her now, along with her needle phobia taking over her more now? I fully understand she has so many emotions going on right now, i just don't really know what more i can do to help?
I've been taking meals to my parents and some baked goodies. I've told them to leave chores for me to do or help with too, especially when mum is so exhausted.
I keep telling her it won't be like this forever, and i hope there is some truth in this. We are just on this path and learning/experiencing more about SCLC, so still grasping how treatment is going/side effects etc.
