She enters into a chemotherapy trial, and begins taking 6 pills a day. The evening of day 2 she is vomiting profusely. by day 4 she is completely constipated. I offer to get medication to help this situation, and she won't take any of the medications I bring home for fear that they will interfere with the chemo. I have been through chemotherapy during my son's bout with lymphoma. This is not novelty for me I just want her to listen to me takek the meds and be more comfortable. Eventually we got back to the doctor and he says she must take laxetives,and not get impacted. As the weeks go by, her foot (the source the the melanoma) gets worse and she is operated on. They remove her heel and teel us that theywill do reconstructive surgery later. She goes home with a suction machine that creates a great deal of pain and recquires professional nursing help. I spent all day, evrey day, ay her home, and our sister spends the weekend so that I can get some time off.
