Hi md - have you got any close friends or family that would go to your place and look after Miss E? (i guess it would have to be someone that you felt incredibly comfortable with too) That way she could still see you and get the occasional cuddle. I know that all chemo medicines are different and have different effects on people - so i guess you won't know how you're going be feeling until you have it. I know when my mum had chemo, there were a couple of weeks where she felt ok, and then one week that she felt quite sick - i think it may have been the last week before the next round started. I'm not sure though. Can you book the days in and then not send her if you're feeling ok? It's that mummy guilt thing isn't it. Little rascals they are
