Gary,
Thanks for the info...he does also have constipation, he does not use the "magic mouthwash" though, he can't even rinse/gargle with the soda water much at this point...he hasn't been able to get anything down his throat since about week 4 of radiation (3 weeks ago or so) not even sucking on ice chips, which used to be tolerable. He gets a liter of saline at the docs each day M-F, I have a hard time getting alot of extra fluid in him since I can't even manage to get the amount of food (Jevity only now for 4 weeks) in him that we are supposed to...UGGH...Jim has had 4 rounds of chemo on a 28 day cycle (Taxotere/Cisplatin/5FU) we were initially supposed to do two more rounds after radiation but chemo doc is not sure...we will talk to him this week about it. Jim managed the nausea very well during chemo., this nausea and vomiting is quite a bit worse than the chemo stuff ever was...thanks for the encouragement Gary, we will keep plugging away at this...
