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.

I definitely get the mental part, the first three treatments were rough.
They eliminated the "push" med and my side effects i.proved.
I still have occasional nausea and get fatigued easily.
There is no handbook for chemo as we all arw a but different.
What is the same is the a ility to share experiences on this platform to help each other!
