They try to get it under control first, as they are doing now. If oral doesn't work they go to iv. If that doesn't work, as far as I know they have to take it out. Good luck!!!

They don't necessarily have to do the iv in the hospital, they can send you home with it. My friend's mom is at home with hers now, she has one week left.
