Thanks everyone-
They did hospitalize my Mom last nite (not sure why they took so long!). She is using the suction machine in her hospital room and says it is working quite well. I am flying there to be with her this week and I am going to try to hook her up with her own machine for when she gets out of the hospital. She is still vomiting frequently. Not sure why none of the meds are working for her this time. The first chemo week she had the drugs helped-now they are not effective. They did a chest xray on her today. She is too out of it to know why. Anyone have any guesses on what they are looking for with a chest xray?
