Hi Maureen,

hope you and your sister are doing 'ok' (as far as one can at this point). Mum has just finished her 6 chemo treatments about 6 weeks ago, and the beginning was the hardest in a lot of ways.

Its such a steep learning curve, but the more you guys can figure out how to relieve the worst of her side effects - using advice from the lovely ladies here, as well as ringing for advice from the oncology nurses / oncologist etc when necessary, the easier it gets (still not nice, but less of an out of control nightmare). Hope things get better for you guys soon. I know how hard it is watching someone you love feel so awful.

Best wishes,
Miriam
