Hi there been struggling with worry and anxiety and thought I would try finding some support here ️
My mum has oesophageal cancer, and is currently having chemo therapy. Into her 5th cycle now she has been getting a very sore throat, and mouth. Her voice is very hoarse and she finds drinking a bit difficult as liquid catches her throat and makes her cough.(she also has copd) . She doesn’t seem to get a lot of support from her nurses or gp.
does anyone have experience of Mucositis? What can help ? Is her hoarse voice likely because of it and her coughing ? She didn’t have these symptoms before starting chemo. Also she has been extra tired this past week does fatigue get worse the longer you are on chemotherapy?
I’m finding it hard to sleep and constantly worry about her. It's hard to know who to talk to in situations like this. Thank you for any replies. Annie x
