Hi,
my dad has his 3rd round of chemo today ( he has lung cancer stage 4 diagnosed late feb, so the chemo is not to cure him just give him some quality of life back.
Before dad had chemo he was so ill I really didn't think he would last long at all he was falling asleep constantly, having to go to bed 4 or 5 times a day and in lots of pain. After he had he's first round of chemo he was completely different he couldn't do all he did before the cancer by any means but was a lot better than he was, however after the second round he had gone back to how he was before chemo.
do you know why it didn't seem to work as well second time? Is it because the cancer is taking over?, I'm scared as this is he's last round before he's scan and I felt really positive before it was making a difference.
if anyone has found that the chemo does not work as well next time can they let me know, is each round just sometimes not as good?
im trying to stay positive but I'm feeling down about it
thanks
dawn
