@denisestlouie Indeed. I’d be very interested in what Mayo Clinic etc reported after their clinical trials. We are all so different how our bodies react to treatment.

So many factors including weighing up, for example, the need for nutrition and for some avoiding falling into cachexia (anorexia).

Personally, I coped really well with the side effects of Folfiri and Avastin. Through trial and error I did learn to fast in the chair and overnight after an infusion to avoid being terribly nauseous and sick the next morning but other than that I needed to eat. I’d even have a chicken, mayo and salad roll about 2 hours before climbing into the chair. I’d watch some other patients eating huge amounts while in the chair! I just couldn’t.
