lc46 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Hi-My Mom has been vomiting on and off since she finished her last radiation to the chest-The Dr says she has esophagitis and it's pretty bad. She feels like a lump is in her throat and then throws up-but she also has the 9mm tumor on her brain-the Dr says it's to small to be doing anything yet. She started her WBR on Monday and is into her 3rd treatment. Anyone have a small tumor on the brain and throw up? Thanks for any advice on this.

Adrian Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 my dad has stage IV nsclc with brain mets. He just finished WBR yesterday. He battled a fair amount of nausea on several days and threw up a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz13 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Yes, I had terrible esophagitis from radiation and vomited a long time. I had ulcers up and down the whole esophaguas, fungus growing, and terrible pain swallowing. They put me on a feyndale pain patch, which made it worse. I end up taking the patch off and taking an anti fungus med for 14 days. The vomiting stopped almost immediately. Sorry to say that I still have pain swallowing. I've had the "Big Strech" Went 6mm to 14mm diameter, but probably need to have it done again. My biggest problem is swallowing medicene. Hope things get better. Hugs, Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyma Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Hi Gerald was felt sick after radiation and had the lump in his throat etc but I also kept him on the anti nausia medication. That could help - he had a 1 cm brain met - they radiated lung and brain at same time but I think it was the lung radiation witht he esophogus that caused the problem - not the brain, hope that helps.

Nick C Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Mom took Prilosec to help with acid reflux/nausea preemptively. Mom had lots of brain mets, never once threw up... I would go with the doc on this one. At least per my mother's experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ztweb Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 My dad did more of the throwing up from the ball of goob he had in his throat all the time. But...he didn't do it too much, and it didn't last too long. Best of luck! Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karen335 Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 My Onc and Radiation therapist gave me liquid Carafate... It worked, also Lidacane for the throat. Prayers and blessings Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
