Chemo build up

Hello again,

Mom is having her 5th chemo treatment tomorrow. Usually she would have severe nausea, fatitgue, etc a week or so after chemo and then start feeling better.

After chemo 4 this did not happen. The nausea, fatigue, flu-like symptoms, did not go away. Is this normal? Assuming the chemo drugs have built up over the first4 treatments? She is taking taxol and another chemo that starts with a C every 3 weeks along with herceptin.

She is just getting really down because she feels like S...!
She says she can barely stand to swallow water.


Help if you have any advice.
Thanks,
Kim
