Hello Lilly

I'm sorry to hear about your Mum's diagnosis. It's understandably a difficult time for you both at the moment. 

We do have some general information about chemotherapy on our website but if you're able to tell us what type of cancer your Mum has or if you know what type of chemotherapy she is going to be receiving then we may be able to signpost you to some more specific information. 

We also have a team of nurses here at CRUK that you can call to talk things through if you think it may help. I'm sure they will be happy to offer any advice, information, and support they can. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

We have a few members here in the forum at the moment whose Mums have been diagnosed with cancer so I wanted to try and maybe connect you with some of them. Whilst the exact diagnosis may be different, I'm sure that you will all have shared experiences that can help each other. SweetD has recently started this thread ahead of her Mum starting treatment and Dora9310x has also posted about her Mum's situation in this thread. 

I hope that your Mum's treatment goes well next week. Do let us know how she gets on when you're able to. 

Best wishes, 
Jenn
