Please let us know what your mothers chemo doctor tells you. There may be reasons for the treatment he is doing. If not, then it's time to make some changes. Please remember that we're not doctors here and even telling you what our doctors are doing is not intended for you to change your moms treatment. Question your moms doctor and go from there.
