Hi all. My sis was diagnosed in March this year.  Lots of chemo done and now waiting for STC in sep. The thing is for the last three weeks she’s been poorly.  Severe throat problem loss of hearing. Gp has given antibiotics but the consultant said there is no infection..  Her energy is zero. She can’t face food. We need her to be fit and ready for thr STC…..

Hi Nippy.

It sounds to me like your sister is depressed.

Chemo can take an awful toll on the body making you susceptible to all sorts of problems and the thought of going through a SCT, which can be bad, will be playing on her mind and adding to the problems. Does your sister have access to a counsellor? They are a great help.

Anyway those are my initial thoughts. I’m sure others will have other views.

Every day is a gift.
