Seth-
Just wanted to let you know that I went through a very similar situation with my Mom a few weeks ago. She had the iratractable vomiting for 5 days and had to be fed through IV for 10 days. (was hospitalized for 14 days) She could not hold anything in her digestive tract with out vomiting. But the good news is that he will get better. My mom did have to have her chemo cancelled (received 2 of 4 weeks). the doctor felt that due to her level of toxicity that another blast of chemo could be fatal so they stopped. We are hopeful that it was enough and time will tell. It was a rough road but she is getting a little bit stronger each day. I know how hard it is to have a loved one in such bad shape. I felt helpless. But just hang in there-there is a light at the end of the tunnel! I am sorry that you have to see Michael like this! Hugs!!
