Anyone have experience with Triple (Triplet) Therapy?

First chemo done on Friday. Hubby had a pretty good couple of days after with just some mild fatigue, a heaviness in the legs, and dry mouth. His appetite (and mood) were good.
Monday and Tuesday brought more fatigue, headache (could be because he stopped drinking coffee?), and some tingling/pins and needles in the lower legs and feet. We will call the clinic tomorrow just to report.
We took a trip to the ER last night as I was concerned about fever (99.8) and they told us to watch for that and to go to the ER right away. They did bloodwork and all the required testing to be sure there was no infection - all ok.

The emotional rollercoaster I am on is something else! Hanging in there and just trying to take things day to day while remaining hopeful.

@canadaanne It's a very *small* blessing that we can get triaged faster in the ER with stage 4 cancer.

In Ontario, people with minor illnesses or injuries often wait many hours to be seen in the ER, especially on a busy evening; since 2021 I've rarely waited past 30 minutes (never a full hour), regardless of why I'm there.

I hope that was your husband's experience in BC last night as well.
