I am so sorry for your loss. CC is a devasting disease and your mom fought as long and as hard as she could. Hopefully as time passes, you will remember her as she was before cancer.
Hugs and prayers to your family.

I bet she just needed that sleep. I rarely sleep through the night and get up and make noise (Hans says I moan, but I completely deny that!). Then one night, I sleep straight through for no apparent reason. But it is really good!

Ask your doctor about steroids. Not only to they give you energy, they makee you SO hungry. I put on over 15 pounds while on chemo because those steroids gave me the munchies 24/7.

If the juandice was caused by infection, yes it can clear up with the infection.
Eggs are easy to digest as well as soup. I have no idea why custard (YUM) would be easy except that I bet it liquifies in the stomach so it might be easy to pass. My doctor said (when I still could eat) that foods that dissolved easily in water were easy to digest…for example mashed potato, crackers, ice cream, soup, etc.

Has any thought been given to iv nutrician? I am on it now and will be until I push up those daisies. I guess it depends on where you are physically. I was pretty strong and healthy until I couldnt eat anymore. IT might be different with your mom, but I thought I would just throw that idea out there.

Best wishes to you. You have so much to live for and a transplant seems to be the best bet. Let us know how it goes.

Andie,
We all feel the same way….even the patients. So vent away.There is a mouth spray you can buy that really helps. There are different brands with different flavors, so there is one that is sure to taste ok to your dad. I like the lemon one.
I just had my birthday and asked for only practical presents. I got a small refrigerator for my bedside, a small tea kettle for the bed room, and some soft pjs. No I cant take this stuff with me, but it makes life easier now. Perhaps you could think of gifts along those lines.
Hugs,
KrisI am so sorry for the change in your dads scans. Let us know what the onc says. Stay strong and have a wonderful THanksgiving.

Juila,
I am disappointed and sorry with your news. You and your sister hang strong since nobody knows what the future holds.Kris
I had great success with the sugar technique tonight. Thank you for finding that.
On a sad not, the Brioschi that Lainy keeps talking about appears to out of production so if you are using it and like it, you might want to stock up.
Kris
for a positive report.
