Thank you so much for taking the time to reply, that was really helpful. Mum has definitely gone downhill since the radiation, and that's what we wanted to know, will she bounce back from this or is this just her cancer and the new normal. Since I wrote this post, mum was taken to hospital on Sunday as her pain had escalated again (even though we were at the hospital on Friday for her chemo, she let them know about her pain, didn't even get to see a doctor.....) she couldn't walk and couldn't keep her head up. After a CT scan when she was taken to emergency they found fractures in her neck vertebrae, 2nd rib, collar bone, and thoracics… no wonder she was in so much pain! They're assessing her scans/results from her radiation and making a decision from there.... So frustrating she wasn't listened to and just tinkered with her slow release pain medication. When she came to hospital they put her on morphine. I hate that she wasn't listened to. No one should have to be in that much pain.
