Hi everyone,

My dearest aunt has suffered with breast cancer for 9 years now.

SHe has been amazing and a rock

Recently she has taken a turn for the worst and she is not doing well.

She and my family are very much in denial. I am far away but trying to help.

the last week she has been very naseous. Can anyone please give me some tips on anything at all that helps nausea?

Because of the nausea she is not eating or drinking and I know that she is getting dehyrated.

She also cannot sleep more than a few hours a day.

Any helpful tips are appreciated.

Thanks

she will probably need an rx. fenegren. i'll check the spelling in a sec.

when my brother was dying...it really helped.

see if she will try taking sips of pedialyte. they make it in popcycles too.

i am so sorry shelley.

of course i spelled it wrong...but here is info on it. the rx name...

was it in remission and has reoccurred?
or having tx that is causing nausea?

Has she been to Dr for reassessment?
Or she doesn't want to go or know??

No its been active the last 9 years but held at the same level.

Its been amazing that she has made 9 years. She has a great will to live.

THis afternoon we were able to get her better pain control Lortab and the doc also gave her an anti nausea med. Lucklily we have a cousin that is a doc.

We think she is not telling her oncologost the extent of the pain and nausea because she is afraid that this could be it.

We think her new treatment is causing the nausea and the pain. But she has not been eating or sleeping because of the pain.

She is just completley exhausted and likley dehydrated.

I told her to get some pedialyte, and the popsicles were a great idea.

Also recommended some peppermint tea and to get some ginger becasue I heard that helps too.

Thanks for your help.

Bumping up in case anyone has any more thoughts.

well.. either way she doesn't need to be in pain..

but then again my brother in law refused pain meds, he wanted to be coherent/lucid as long as possible and he did pretty good until the last few days.
