In a couple of weeks we are travelling to the east coast and staying with my God Parents. My God mother is undergoing Chemo and we arrive on the Friday afternoon and she is going to meet as when we get off the train or we will cab it up to the hospital and wait for her to finish a Chemo session. She has been undergoing treatment for about a year.
Even though I know quite a few family members and friends who have had cancer I haven't been in contact in the middle of undergoin Chemo.
Can any one answer any of these questions so that we can be a bit more prepared
How do you feel after a Chemo session, that day and the next couple of days, ie tired, sick etc.?
What does it involve, it is like an IV (I apologise for my complete ignorance here )?
Are there certain things you should avoid, I assume that being exposed to any kind of illness is a no no?
What about foods, drinks, alcohol etc ? (I was going to take up some lovely SA wines and Heighs chocolates
I may have some more questions, but I just want to have a better understanding of what she is going through. My God Parents are jsut so excited to be having us and we haven't spent a lot of time together for a few years, and I am really exicted as well, they are just lovely people, very special to me
TIA xxoo
