Chemotherapy Exhaustion

My mother had a very rough weekend. Simply exhausted and mild nausea Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The Compozine was helpful and she never actually threw up, but she is downright miserable. She is sleeping about 12 - 14 hours at night and has trouble staying awake during the day. Her hearing has gotten slightly worse. It's hard to tell because she is listening to everything so loudly, you are constantly in competition with music or TV. She says that one of her ears is now completely blocked. No headache or dizziness. She is eating, but very lightly - yogurt with fruit, strawberry smoothies, half a turkey sandwich with avocado, cereal, etc.

We did go for a brain MRI with contrast on Friday at 55th between 1st Ave and Sutton Place. Joe said we would have the results in a few days. I know we had also discussed a Chest scan, which I am sure is necessary, but I don't think she is up to going anywhere right now. Maybe by the end of the week. She wanted to know if the chest scan would be a PET/CT scan?

This is almost the exact same time she "bottomed out" after the first round of chemo. Hopefully, she will feel better in the next couple of days. If not, I would like to bring her in for a re-evaluation on Thursday or Friday if possible. Do we know how many more cycles of Chemotherapy she will have to endure?

Please let me know if there is absolutely anything I can do to make her feel better. I try to explain that the exhaustion is par for the course, but her short term memory (and denial) are keeping that from the forefront of her mind. I feel absolutely useless to her right now.
