Hi Gaynor .... sorry to hear your Mum hasnt been too well but I hope she is on the mend now.  I have had the chemo Mum will be having and didnt find it too bad.  The trick of coping seems to be to listen well to your body - she will need more sleep than usual and should just doze on the setee whenever the need arises.  It was practical things that helped - a friend cooking a pie, changing the bed or doing the ironing/shopping because these incidentals are just something you dont need to worry about or even want to have to think about.  It is a worrying time but I have honestly found that it is also a surprise because chemo isnt nearly as bad as expected for most people.  Take good care of yourself too and I will be thinking about you both next week and wishing you well x
