Sorry doc, meaning she eats her food, and cannot keep it down. She vormits it all back up.
I have tried to ask my dad about the medical history but he is so impatient, and puts me in a spot. I have ordered some maitake mushroom, and beta glucan yesterday. I was enquiring also for anti nausea of some sort.
Doctors told him, that the 2 lumps on her head is cancer. Causing severe head aches.

Brief Answer:
needs evaluation for raised intracranial pressure.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.Thanks for providing the details. I think the vomitings are related to brain metastases. She needs to undergo CT scan of the head. If there are signs of increased intracranial pressure, vomiting pills may not be sufficient; she will need hospitalization and undergo cerebral decompression, either medical or surgical.
The other cause is chemotherapy induced; but it won't be associated with vomiting. I suggest you take her to a doctor immediately.
Hope this information is useful. Let me know if you need clarifications.
