Good morning @cornucopia- Welcome to you and your sister to Mayo Clinic Connect. What a great sport you are for your sister. I was also a heavy smoker. How is her energy? Is she taking anything for her nausea? How can I help?

Hi Merry, thank you for answering and for caring. My sister underwent her third chemo last Friday and had the same reaction as the two previous times only a bit worse . The nausea and fatigue lasted 7 days in all. She is very thin and she lost more weight through not eating but she is okay now and started both eating and walking close to 7,000 steps a day. Breathing is a little labored but she is doing her exercises and not complaining. One more (at this point) to go and she can take a breather by March. I got her tickets to come stay with in June. I hear from other blogs that plans may get canceled but she is optimist and so am I. Thank you for being there. Will let you know if new questions arise.
