- Hello I really concerned about my mum she is 74 and was diagnosed with bowel cancer in April, she had her complete bowel removed and a stoma bag. Sgez had several rounds of chemo through the Pic line and also 7 rounds of chemo tablets. Shes done amazing with hardly any symptoms but now 2 weeks since she finished chemo she as become cery tired, exhausted to the point where climbing the stairs makes her tired, her legs are swollen so she is on water tablets. She saw the consultant 2 weeks ago and wasn't concerned. But since then shes got worse no appetite at all, sleeping all the time and heartburn and acid reflux. I am really worried as yesterday she was coughing and coughed up dark brown /black vomit. She rang immediately the rapid response team who told her to take anti sickness and if it happens again to call them. It's not happened again but I scared something is wrong. She's stucking to light meals and the acid reflux /heartburn as gone too. Is it normal for this to happen, not sleeping myself as worried sick. Please advise. Thank you
