My mother was diagnosed with stage IIIB lung cancer in March. She has had radiaition everyday since the end of March (excluding weekends and some time off for her blood counts being too low) and has had 2 rounds of chemo. At first she was doing really well, her attitude was great and she didn’t feel all of the side effects everyone talks about. After she lost her hair, it alsmost seems as if she gave up. She has more bad days than good now. She had to have a blood transfusion a couple of weeks ago and she felt better, but here lately she has just been extremely tired and very emotional, I mean more so than normal since she started all of this. She only has 3 more days of radiation left, which I know she’s happy about, but could this be a sign that maybe things aren’t going to work out in our favor, or maybe she is just really really exauhsted? I just keep thinking that things will get better when her treatment is over and everything goes back to normal, but will it?
