Hi ,

I hope this may help 

Just seen your post and my wife became very weak and almost stopped eating / drinking which sounds similar. We were really worried however after talking to the nurses in the hospital we had her taken in for assessment and they found she was dehydrated and lacking vitamins. She stayed in 3 days, they gave her fluids and more and came out in a much better place. We were thinking the worst but the kind nurses were able to help her. 
Usually before any treatment starts they'll check her bloods and make sure she's ok to start again from what I've seen they are really close to this. 
 

hope that helps ,

Hi Chris

Thank you so much, this is so helpful and very reassuring. I'm so happy your wife felt better and I really hope the same for my mum.

Thank you again, you've really helped me see that there can be a positive. 
 

I hope you have a lovely day

Thanks Karen, also we were given a pack with the emergency oncology helpline number on. I wasn't aware of this at the time but it has been invaluable, the nurses always pick up or call back and the care they give is brilliant. I'd definitely ask for this if you don't have it so you have some contacts and a direct line when things aren't so great. Hope your mum picks up. 
 

Have a lovely day too, 

Chris 

Thank you so much again Chris. They did give me a card and told me to call anytime but I completely forgot! Thank you so much as I don't know how it slipped my mind. 
 

I'll definitely give them a ring for mum, thank you again - you've made such a difference to my day today. Mum's still the same but your experience has just made me feel more hopeful, thank you!
 

I hope you and your wife are doing very well

Best wishes to you both xx

Thank you Karen, you're more than welcome, hope it goes well for your mum. 

Chris
