mom collapsed

Postby Lovenothate » Wed May 02, 2018 3:58 pm

My mom collapsed today after throwing up. They are doing brain scans now. She's been feeling fine. Any ideas?

Vomiting is a very non-specific sign which could have many potential causes.
Good that they are getting her attended to and figure out why she collapsed.

Send her our best wishes

Hope she's okay, that can be very scary.

She started her erbitux treatment on Monday and was supposed to get unplugged today. She’s getting chill therapy to save her brain. Love you guys. Thanks for being here.
