My aunt has Stage 4 Uterine Leiomyosarcoma. She will start Chemo in a few days. This is her 4th reoccurance. She has already had radiation treatment therefore Chemo is her only option. Our concern is that she's had MANY prior surgeries (removed appendix, most of her small and large intestine, total hysteroectomy) and now has a colostmy. She has trouble gaining weight because her intestine is so small and with the colostomy she doesn't keep her food very long.
Nausea is our main concern with the Chemo, as she tends to dehydrate very easily.
Mouth sores too.
Luckily we don't know anyone who's undergone Chemo to compare notes with, so your comments on your experiences would be appreciated!
Thank you and good luck to all of you!
Many Blessings!
