I’m sorry your mum is feeling weak and dizzy. Personally I would give them a ring even just to put your mind at rest or for advice. X

Thanks I called them they gave her cinnarazine don't know the reason for dizziness though

Could just be fall in bloods that can make you dizzy. I’m glad she’s got sorted, and hope she feels better soon x

Hi Indujoshi

There are many reasons for dizziness while on chemo....iron deficiency was mine. Try not to worry but do ask for guidance from the Onc team xx
