The nausea is becoming worse, she is down to just straight milk, ice water, and an occasional HyVee vanilla pudding cup. The two anti-nausea pills together work only some of the time. The crucial thing is to be able to get her six-hour Hydrocodone pain pill down and kept down. I called the office and they said don't worry about the other meds., do what it takes to get the Hydrocodone down.
She starts what they call Palliative Chemo tomorrow (Wednesday.) Palliative is a type of chemotherapy that is given specifically to address symptom management without expecting to significantly reduce the cancer.
The Mercy social worker and hospice nurse will come Thursday morning.
