I was very much busy so could not come here for 3-4 days. Today being the weekend I have thought of logging on MYLOT and check what you all are doing here.
About my mom she had her chemo on Wednesday which was cancelled as he had low bp and stomach pain. We took her to her oncologist who after her check prescribed medicine for it and said nothing serious in it and asked her to take medicine for 5 days and then will decide her chemo if she feels okay.
As now she is feeling better so we will have her chemo on Monday. But that's really tough as she gets problem 2-3 days after chemo.
Is there anyone who knows if this is normal? Or if she has some after effects of chemo?

No allopathy medicine is without side effects and chemotherapy is one of them. Hope you mother copes with it.

Yes that is normal, on the third day they will have bad pain in the joints, upset stomach is also normal. The doctor should give her medication to take for this, sometimes for her stomach and something for inflammation, plus pain pills.
Tony had 6 chemos and he said it was the worst hell he ever lived through.
I pray ... God please bless his mother with no pain and no cancer.

I hope for positive results soon, because it's just painful to have chemotherapy. There's always side effects after chemo. But never stop praying for a miracle.

That is normal. Take good care of your Mom. Just be there for her after her chemo.

Reactions to chemo differs in every individual so I cannot answer the query and better left for her oncologist. My prayers for her and all of you
