So my mum was diagnosed with nsclc in July, they done a lower right lobectomy and removed some lymph glands in the centr of her chest which the cancer had spread too. 
 

histology results suggest they have removed all of what they can see which is good of course but they referred her to oncology for adjuvant chemotherapy. She had her first round of cisplatin and venoralbine 7 days ago today and it's wiped the floor with her. Too much and too strong for her little body. She's 63 and only 8 stone and 5 ft. 
 

today oncology cancelled her chemo and said they don't recommend she continues, nurses have said that we could lower the strength and in also heard that from lots of other people but today the oncologist said she can't lower the dose everyone gets the standard dose so I feel conflicted!

also, teriffied in case it's gone anywhere else but they are yet to repeat a scan? 
 

I guess I'm looking for some advice around if anyone has had their strength reduced and what I should be demanding really. All was well with respiratory team, surgeons, nurses but everything is confusing since we seem oncology it's like they want her to get chemo but they don't, they put the fear of god in her at the first app the consultant said in these exact words... if we give you chemo now it will kill you! I understand they have to be transparent but being that blunt was brutal.
