75% Done and Jock Itch?
Yes. I'm 75% done (8 out of 12 treatments) with my chemo! The 5-FU has really made me sick for the 46 hours + that I get the infusion via the pump. I don't feel better until the following Monday. Speaking of side effects - I thought I had extra chafing between my legs - near my groin. He said it looked like jock itch - (the pattern was circualar) so I'm doing a daily application of anti-jock itch cream per his instructions and its clearing up. The weird thing is - I've never had Jock itch in my life and now since I started chemo, I'm not really working out. Anyone get jock itch after starting chemo? Mike

I just start 5 FU - one of the side effects can be a rash. I\'m proud of you making it to 75% - you\'ll get there and be free soon!
I will start the 5 fu via the pump tomorrow. I hate to hear it made you sick! I hope you feel better,
