My mother just finished her second round of Cisplatin and the side effects are worse than the first one. Her lips and tongue have little splits all over them. My goodness she is in some pain. The swelling in her face and lips is so bad also. The thick Flem is the worst rite now .

I hate seeing her like this. After her first treatment it took about two weeks until she started to feel just a little bit better.

My mom is steady loosing weight and now with her mouth being so sore I guess she will loose more. She cant even begin to eat rite now with all these cuts all over.

This has to be the hardest thing for my mother to endure. I wish there was something more I could do to help her.


Bless each and Every one of you
