Susan, what is your mother's doctor saying about this? I could be wrong;
but I still feel it is either kidney or bladder. If it is an infection,
then she needs either another antibiotic or stronger antibiotic. I don't
like bringing this up; but it could be Renal Failure due to cancer and its
stage. In any event she needs to be seen immediately. Warmly, your friend,
lillian
