Thanks so much for the input! My son has not had any more episodes of vomiting since the one on last Friday and yesterday and today he was definitely better, emotionally, too. He is not on Chemo, just radiation 14 completed of 35. He takes amifostine shots to counterract the radiation and some anti-nausea meds, too. He is not too keen on my keeping records of his meds, foods and it is so hard to be the "Mom from Hell". At one point about a week ago, I lost it! And the tears came when I told him he had to care about his own recovery and keep records. And then I felt so badly and so guilty because he is also dealing with depression and it's been rough on him. It is definitly a roller-coaster ride and right now it's up. We'll see what tomorrow brings.
