Heidi, I'm sorry your mom is having a hard time with the chemo. Unfortunately, the effects of chemo are cumulative and she may feel even worse with the upcoming sessions. Do talk to your doctors about what you can do to alleviate the effects of some of the side effects so that you know ahead of time what to expect and how you can help her. My thoughts are with you and your mom.
