Hi Sue, I went through a very high dosage of cisplatin and IMRT because i have a rare form of cancer. The cisplatin gave me terrible nausea and i was throwing up to ten times a day. I had terrible mucositis from the IMRT which added to the nausea. The dr. prescribed a suction machine, zofran, daily hydrations along with ativan. When nothing worked my husband took my weak body for accupuncture which, in combination with all me meds helped a great deal. I also have a peg tube which helped me keep nutrients when i couldn't eat. The peg tube never settle right with my digestive system but helped tremendously when i was too weak too eat, as my family was just plugging it in with a can of twocal. I am now three weeks out of treatment. i made it through and so will your brother in law. Keep supporting your sister, she needs it right now. GOD BLESS.
