Hi all , been reading throu a few threads and they have already helped .
ok im michelle and my mums been diagnosed with stomach cancer that may have 2 lymph nodes that are really small involved.
she starts chemo tomorrow, them goes home with a pump that releases drugs into her body for 2 days .
shes having 4 sessions 2 weeks apart , then surgery in sept followed by a rest break then 4 more sessions 2 weeks aprt .
obviously i know everyone is different but any advice would be appreciated. and also as chemo is every 2 weeks how long should she expect to feel ill .. ie will she have chemo .. feel ill the whole 2 weeks then have chemo again etc etc or can she expect to feel ok part of the time . ?
also ive read drink drink drink and keep hydrated.. but mum said nurses said only hot drinks ? .
I mums main support , dads with her but hes got chronic fatigue and i can see hes scared so i take her to hospital appts. 55 years together … shes his life .. so im looking after them both . Im 5 mins walk away and can be there to help when ever .
anyway thanks for reading x
