What treatment regimen are you on.
I am On Folfox.
Just completed round 5 of 8
My diarrhea was uncontrollable at night after my third round.
At the fourth treatment, my dose was adjusted as i lost quite a bit of weight.
The "push" med was discontinued.
Round 4 and 5 were manageable.
Best of luck and use this Mayo chat for support.

I also am on the Folfox.
The weight loss is unreal, on average about a pound a day. It does not matter what I eat, I still loose the weight. I am really struggling mentally right now with all of this. I feel grateful that the doctors caught it real early and hopefully this takes care of it for me. The week after treatment two the worst i have felt so far. I know i have a rough couple days after treatment and then i seem to bounce back, so lets see what the days this week get me feeling like.
