@colleenyoung I had my first Folfox on Oct 5. I had a lot of pressure in my sinuses from the beginning of treatment. I mentioned it to the nurse she didn’t really offer a solution. Had the battery removed on the 7th. I didn’t feel too bad but I’m not able to sleep well. Yesterday the pressure was intense called the clinic they said I could take Tylenol. I looked it up online and found the solution saline nasal spray and cool mist vaporizer. Last night I experienced diarrhea and vomiting no sleep. Waiting for a call back from clinic.
I see the oncologist on Monday.

@115 I saw my oncologist yesterday and she prescribed trazadone so I can sleep and something for nerve pain as having to have a bowel movement is painful. I’m still healing from radiation. I have 2 anti nausea meds. Imodium does help a lot. The day I get disconnected from the pump they’ll give me fluids so I feel more confident that the next treatment I’ll know what to do. Thanks to everyone who shares their experiences 🙏🏼
