I am about to leave to be with my friend for her second infusion for a recurrence.  This time it is in her bones and possibly liver.  She had her first infusion with Navelbine last week.  On the third day after chemo, her mouth felt as if it was on fire.  The diagnosis was neuropathy of the tongue.  Today, 7 days later, she is throwing up.  She did not tolerate the chemo with the initial diagnosis and had to quit early.  Does anyone have any words of wisdom or suggestions as to what she should do?  I'm at my wits end and feel so helpless when trying to help her.

 God bless,

Chris
