@vincelinda24 That is the most common type. The side effects can be a challenge. Doing things to minimize them can take some trial and error. Unfortunately, some are unavoidable. You have to find a way to work through them. For me, I had to learn to listen to my body. Rest when I am tired. Sleep really helps. Equally as important is to never stop moving if/when you can even when it hurts sometimes. With the loss of appetite and weight, it will be difficult. I lost over 100lbs. I have been there. But keeping the body moving helped me get a little appetite back. Like @myo4me suggested, following a diet that is easier on the body and liver can be helpful. Have you tried anything like that? Are there any other changes that might be helpful? The easiest way to get through the side effects is great scan results. It can make the anguish worth it. November 6th can't come soon enough. You agree?

@tomrennie sorry to hear you suffered so much. Are you presently feeling better and has your treatment killed the tumour? We were told that more tumours could pop up, did you experience did?
After 8 weeks of treatment, my husband’s constipation is over and no longer needs medications to go. His appetite has improved as the effects are waring off. Time will tell and we’re praying for good results.
Thanks for your input and all the best.
