My mum had 1 cycle of palliative chemo (Carboplatin and Gemcitabine), and in the break it was like she was hit by a bus and is struggling so much with stairs and to walk. She is also struggling with mood, and some blurry vision but mostly just extreme fatigue.
From a very active glamorous 61 year old with a sudden u expected diagnosis of stage 4 squamous cell nsclc lung cancer, she can now barely walk and so they stopped the day 8 of the second cycle and said this was temporary half to regain some energy before the next round. We are so scared incase this is a sign are going to stop the chemo.
She also has a ct scan after the first 2 cycles (although one was only half complete) is this routine? We are so worried what it will show as there was no baseline ct scan since months before her chemo started.
