Hi Amy,

My dad went through a lot, surgery, heart attack, radiation...he too was superman prior to the cancer. He drove himself to every radiation treatment, forced himself to eat and drink, and just last week he got on his riding mower and cut the grass. His radiation treatments ended just two weeks ago.

I, like you, would be very concerned if this super human did a 180 after treatment. Sometimes medications need to be adjusted and can even have the opposite effect on people that they are supposed to. I would talk to your mother's doctors and let them know your concerns.

Everyone responds differently to treatment. This may just be more difficult for your mom to bounce back from than others, and still some people may experience worse symptoms than your mother.

Hang in there and consult with her doctors. They are the ones that can really let you know if what she is experiencing is normal.
