[|Human|] My mum is 72 & recently in may has had lung cancer due to smoking, she had had her surgery in may, now in july she has had the follow up visit back with her surgeon & everything healing well, they removed the tumour & 18 limph nodes, but 2 came back positive they are recommending chemo, 4 seesions over a 12 week period. My mum has no other problems what so ever, she in genrally a very active lady. Do you think she will cope with chem therapy, is she strong enough, she has never been in hospital prior to this & having 4 children, she is quite concerened with the side effects as well.  Please resond.  Thank you
[|AI|]  Hello, Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. Forum. Please remove misconception from your mind that a strong patient can tolerate chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is necessary for your mother as doctor has recommended, so please get in full course. 2nd thing in chemotherapy usually blood cells decreases, so doctor will supervise it. Next point in chemotherapy patients feels nausea and vomiting, so take care about that. Hope I have answered your question. If further any question I will help. Good luck for your mother.
