- Well finally my test came back and I don't have that funny enzyme problem that causes the 5-FU to stay in my body for longer than it should, which is a very toxic situation causing death. Yikes !!! Dr. had lowered my 5-FU dosage to 50 % until...
- Finished #9 (well, pump comes off tomorrow) so only 3 to go. I am getting so excited, I see the end in sight. I pray nothing else goes wrong with me and I can finish on time. Still don't have my test results back about that crazy enzyme thing I...
- Only 4 to go. Yea !!! They gave me another test for that crazy enzyme that I might have, it's some kind of protein thing that won't release the 5-FU in my body, hence I'm sick and tired all the time cause I have a body full of 5-FU. They reduced...
- Hi all, I've been at a motel for several days cause my kitchen is being torn up, mold under my floor. Yikes !!!! So I went in on Sunday for blood test and then went in on Monday for chemo. Well not for me cause my wbc is too low AGAIN, (this...
- Does anybody know how long it will be before I can start touching, eating or drinking cool or cold stuff, now that I'm off of the Oxi. Dr. said my side effects (Neuropathy) should last about 6 months more, then hopefully go away. Thanks.
- As some of you may know, I have been on Oxaliplatin, Leucovorin & 5-FU for the past 4 months (6 chemos) I have been a real mess, not one good day so far, sick with side effects all the time. Tomorrow is #7 they are stopping the Oxi. I need...
- I am in the middle of #6 and I think I will stop the Oxi after this. My side effects are getting pretty bad, was really sick and scared last night. I get the Oxi and Leucovorin and 5-Fu on Monday,- Tue get just Leucovorin and 5-Fu and wear a drip...
- Yup, I've made it to the big 64 today. Since I'm getting shots to build my white blood cells, and they are up, yea!!! I will relax my germ/bacteria rules and my hubby and I will go out to dinner tonite to celebrate. I started chemo in March with...
- Well they're gonna start me on Filgrastin / Neupogen on thur. (had my chemo mon, tue, wed,) My first shot in the stomach, I will go into the nurse so she can show me how to do it, then the rest I will do at home. Because I so over react to all...
- They want to start me on Filgrastim the day after tomorrow (after chemo # 5, yea) It\'s because my blood counts are almost always down. I get pushed back a week or two each time. From reading the info flyer this medicine sounds dangerous and...
- Was supposed to have chemo yesterday (wed) but my white blood count was too low again, pushed back to next week. Talked to Dr the day before she said my constant nausea may really be heartburn / indegestion and gave me Prilosec, said to take it for...
- As some of you may know my \"bad\" week is pretty bad with side effects and my \"good\" week is still bad. I have been taking Zofran (Ondansetron) for the 3 days during chemo, plus a drip before they hook me up to the chemo drip, and then after...
- For those of us taking Oxaliplatin (eloxatin), we know that one of the main side effects is neuropathy. My Dr. said that when it gets too bad they will stop giving me that drug, because often the effects are permenant. She said I need to ask...
