The last few days my mom has had these flu type symptoms. A lot of nausea and bad headaches . She completed the 35 Rad 6 months ago but a recurrence showed up shortly after. A second surgery was done but there were to many cancer cells so the only option is Chemo.
She visited the Oncologist this past Monday and set up the Chemo to start on the 21st of Oct. The problem is that she has been very sick with so much nausea and terrible headaches . We have to wonder could the cancer be spreading ? Her ear and face/neck hurts everyday now these flu symptoms . I wish she could've started the Chemo sooner just maybe it would help to slow this cancer down if it is spreading.
