Hello everyone. My mom just completed only her 12th day of radiation and has also done one of 3 planned chemo sessions with cisplatin. The problem is that it is really getting to her. She has a lot of blistering in her mouth, she can't taste anything, and feels like throwing up every time she eats something. Thus, she is only eating through the PEG tube, which means she isn't getting as many calories but she'll probably start going to 5 cans instead of 4.

She is scheduled to have 40 days of radiation and 2 more sessions of chemo with cisplatin. Her first chemo session made her throw up and feel like crap for a couple of days and she keeps telling me that she doesn't think she can go through any more chemo. Also, she doesn't think she will be able to go make it through all 40 sessions of radiation.
