Hi Herson, I don't think there was a corner of the radiation medicine facility where I didn't vomit during treatment. It's hard. Nothing worked for me--not even Zofran although it helped. There were multiple factors related to it. Fist, the chemo. Second, the phlegm getting caught in my throat, and third (and the biggest factor) I was taking amifostine to try to save some of my salivary function. is your mom taking that? That alone made me incredibly violently ill on most days.

I love the suggestion of a bucket with smiley faces. A friend of mine who is a graphic artist made me little plastic barf bags that were decoratd with words like "UhOh" and "Barfing the Cancer Away". They seemed too good to use though--I still have some of the unused ones!

Try to remind your mom that this too shall pass. And do work to get her medicatiojn that helps.
