Belle, sorry to hear this news but good to know you all are on top of it and treatment is starting.
Everyone reacts differently to chemo, of course. But I think you will find reading here that we all came through on the other side of it. There are so many meds that can counteract side effects.
My biggest SE was neuropathy (numbness) of my feet. I also had some days of aches and pains following the infusion. Blood counts drop too. And I lost my appetite so it is important to remember to have easy to eat foods in the house. Cheese, yogurt, protien drinks..the sort of thing which she can snack on frequently. Be sure she is dressed warmly. Treatment rooms are always too cold. Drink water.
I suggest that you tell the oncologist about the supplements she is taking. You would not want them to inadvertently interfere with the chemo drugs.
Keep the faith.
