Well that was disappointing... the good week off turned out not to be: constant tummy troubles! All week too; we forgot two things - the Mg infusion last Thursday has significant tummy side effects, and I was "off" the tummy protector drug :-(
And, a good thing this, probably the Folfiri and Cetuximab were STILL working?
So we're now on stage 2, with my first cycle of Folfox well underway here in the clinic. Since it's the first time, I'll have to sit for 2 hours while they check my reaction to the Oxyplatin, so therefore here for 6+ hours! Avastin enters the fray next time.
And, being out of my original cycle, (now "even" weeks rather than "odd"!) we've met another group of people, just as positive and focused on success as my old group!
And we too remain positive and hopeful - there are still weapons at our disposal, all of which have good track records; and my body and mind remain strong (most of the time!) in spite of all the side-effects!
