Tell her she probably only has about another week before she will start to feel much better than she does now. Tell her don't give up now when the end is sooooo very close. I stopped all meds in my 2nd week post Tx because I was fed up with the nausea. I swallowed through the pain and I think it helped me in the long run. There are many people here that complain about swallowing problems and have had to have therepy which doesn't sound like too much fun.
