My son just completed the first round of chemo. Not sure I have the names
correct but FU5Push and oxiaplatin, etc. After reading on line the things people are going through, it sounds like a nightmare. We have been told almost none of this. What do we need to do now? Right now to help ward off these side affects. I am trying to educate myself although I must say God is bigger than any of this. God Bless you all. Thank you for the info.
I would really appreciate any info that I need before he goes again next week for the next dose. Last summer he had FU5Puch for six weeks and radiation, then resection and illiostomy(sp?) and reversal and now four months of every other week with this stuff. I wish you all well.I was just reading bout the study at the veterans hospital with taking the glutamine and it sounded good. Do you ask your doctor before taking any suppliments? Will any of these things you all taking interfere with the effectiveness of the chemo?
I reaaly appreciate all the input as this has been a real learning experience.
He is only 39 years old.
