I have just found your other posts re your Mum and realised my own previous post may be a bit "suck eggs" and be (mis)interpreted as patronising. Unintended so please accept my apology - was just trying to let you know there are options. As our own cancer co-ordinator is fond of saying "unless you are a masochist, there is no good reason to be in pain" and to add from my own experience - there is always a way to make side effects more tolerable (we just haven't found some of them yet).
Good on you for sorting your doctors out, your Mum must be very proud to have someone with your grit in her corner.
