Re: Daughtersofmoms withBREASTCANCER My moms first chemo treatment.

when my mom was going thru the strongest chemo for
some strange reason she craved the polish dogs with
everything on it with coke from Costco. Also have your
mom drink ensure it does taste good and it gives extra
nutrients. I would take my mom out to Costco on the
days she had chemo. KEEP YOUR MOM BUSY, if she can do
a little house work let her, don't have her sit around
all day, even taking a little walk to keep the blood
moving is always good. Hopefully the Dr gave her some
med's for the nausea if not Prisolec also works and it
is over the counter. Drink lots of water, cranberry
juice, anything but alcohol to flush the kidneys and
liver of the toxic waste they are putting in your
mom's body.
Biotene works really good for the dry mouth, it has no
alcohol, have her rinse twice a day.
My mom had her surgery on February and she has 12
weeks more of chemo and then 5 weeks of radiation
besides the 9 months of chemo she had before the
mastectomy.
She is doing okay for the most part, she is driving
her family members CRAZY has she has OCD with
cleanliness and it has gotten worse as the treatment
continues.
The weather in Calif is cooling down today thank
goodness, I am in southern CA.

Take it one day at a time,
Pam
