Thanks Nelie and Marcia-
Nelie-How many chemo treatments did you miss? Did they do the neck resection after the decision to stop the chemo?

I am encouraging my Mom to meet with someone at MD Anderson after she recovers to discuss the benefits of a modified resection as an addittional insurance that she is/stays cancer free. She is just so down right now from being so sick and feeling so defeated. She even said today that she does not want to finish her IMRTs. She has gotten 37 and has only 3 left. But she is saying no. The vomiting started again today and the meds do not seem to help her. She has even vomited bloodish colored stuff- probably from her insides being so raw from the wretching. Any recommendations on good antiemetics? She is currently using 32 mg of Zofran 1x a day & fennergan every 4 hours. It is not helping.

I have one question on the voice of a radiated patient. She really does not have one. I can barely hear her. She has such a hard time talking and the voice is so weak. Has anyone else had this happed and how long does it last for?

Thanks for the supportive words.
Tami
