How much hair should I expect to lose on Folfiri?

@myjiggers1 I am so sorry to read this and I pray that Folfiri will push you into remission 🙏
Mine was also right side. It started in my appendix and spread. Folfiri was my first line. Folfox would have been my second line if needed. You’re doing it the other way around. I then had HIPEC once the Folfiri and Avastin had done their thing. Folfiri is also going to be very rough on your digestive system with usual side effects being diarrhoea and sores in your nose and mouth. All manageable with your team 🙏🌺 I now get whole body CT-PET scans every 4 months plus a suite of blood tests 🙏🌺

You just gave me so much hope! I am going mention those others to my drs because they are talking about adding Panitumumab because they found a KRAS G13D in my cancer testing for other cancers attached that they could possibly give alternative treatment for. I couldn’t do the folfox again because I am allergic to the Oxaliplatin. I am going to google what your added ones are for and see if they are something I can benefit from when I see my Dr Friday! I got the mouth sores… ugh not the nose! I hope they stay away! I pray for continued health for you! Do you follow a special diet? I struggle with getting water in… 🥰🤪
