Amy B,

I don't think anyone wants to feel as lousy or dependent as your mom does right now. I was surprised that things got so much worse for my husband post-treatment...even though I had been forewarned. I do remember the day when he felt he turned a corner and then things slowly started to improve.

Prior to turning the corner, I could not get him to go outside...even to walk to the end of the driveway. So, good for your mom that she is taking a short walk daily. And, good for you for encouraging her.

I asked our RO how long before Dan would feel better, have energy, be able to speak clearly, be able to drive, be able to work again...the answers were all the same..."weeks to months because everyone is different".

One thing that you might check on is her hydration...if she is still throwing up she might need some extra IV hydration...that made a world of difference for Dan.

And, is your mom taking anything to help thin that awful mucous? That, too, can help.

I wish you and your mom the best.
