My mother seemed to be doing well with the Chemo"Cisplatin+5-FU" until the end of day 2 .The nausea seems to be kicking in pretty good and she is complaining of her Jaw feeling like it is locking up. She can hardly open her mouth to eat. She says its very painful. Has anyone had this type of side effect from Chemo.

She was admitted into the hospital to take a 5 day drip then off for 3 weeks before starting round 2.

Thanks
