hello dear.For sure your mother in this age have the chances of chemo doing well if she have not other severe health problems.Somme of chemo side effects are,blood disorders. Your bone marrow is the spongy tissue inside your bones. It makes new blood cells. Chemotherapy affects this process, so you might have side effects from having too few blood cells.Fatigue,nausea and vomiting.etc,but different drugs cause different side effects.Good luck
