Hi everyone My mother who is 71 recently completed an intense 6 week period of weekly chemotherapy sessions and daily radiotherapy sessions.  Since the last week of treatment, she has become very unwell, unable to swallow due to oesophagitis, and constantly feeling nauseous. She has declined in weight significantly, has no appetite and mostly consumes half a cup of food daily.  Does anyone know of any hints or tips to help mum get past this stage?
