thank you rosie, you made me feel good today.
went and saw my mom at the hospital today and she is going great so far. they gave her the anti nausea meds and they seem to have worked so far. she did the iv drip of platinum and 5fu (?) and will go home tomm. she even asked for a hot fudge sundae today. i get different answers from all of the hospital personnel and doctors, some say there will be nausea after a few days and some say not. some say it depends. i cant see how, if your throat is raw from radiation and you cannot eat, how can you throw up? could you potentially choke? i am hoping that wont happen.
she said the pic tube which was placed in the arm was run all the way up the shoulder and into the chest? that seems pretty invasive.
i really do appreciate finding this site and all of your responses! at this point you are the only people i have to talk to that know what is going on.
