What Causes Dark Brown Vomiting When Suffering From Lung Cancer?
My mother-in-law is diagnosed with lung cancer metastasis to brain and forearm two months back. She has completed radiation for forearm and brain. She is vomiting regularly and not eating anything solid just liquids but that too very less. Last night she vomited dark brown in color and she is very weak and fragile sleeping all the time. At this time what should i expect. Is there anything i should worry about?
