Make sure you monitor the electrolytes if your mother-in-law is vomitting. The side effects of dehyrdation will cause many problems mental and physical.
You are such a wonderful and special person for what you are doing. Many people would struggle with the concept, even without the cancer. There will probably be more rough days than good ones, unfortunately, for a while.
Please feel free to email or ask me anything if I can help you.
