Hello everyone, ok so my mom went back to the dr on Monday and they gave her 3 days of water pills to release some fluid....seemed to make her feel a little better she has only taken 1 pill because she was very nauseas and threw up some greenish/brown stuff..is that normal after starting chemo a week ago with no side effects since? Again she hasn't really been eating only a few bites a day and drinking very little. The swelling in her toes looks a little better to me but everywhere else still looks the same, she had gained the 10 lbs in 3 days last week, so in 5 days now she has lost 17 lbs....confused on this, is it weight? Or fluid? Because she still looks very swollen....also for 2 days now she has been coughing a very wet sounding cough...is it normal?
Thank you all for your help and support!!!

None of that sounds normal. I would suggest you call the oncologist and get her an appt tomorrow.
Good Luck.
