I read your post last week, and thought back to it this morning. My husband started chemo treatments for colon cancer November 30th. He was diagnosed two years ago, and after three and half months of chemo at that time, he had surgery for the tumor. He had a couple spots show up one year ago, and had chemo again at that time. He had clear scans following and then this September a PET scan showed multiple lymph nodes and a nodule on his abdomen. So he began chemo again. He had his second treatment of 4 (or 5) last week. He had been doing fine, continuing to work, etc. However, yesterday he felt awful; nausea, fatigue, could barely get up, and ate very little. The memories of two years ago, when he took this particular chemo, I believe Folfox, came back. It is just so hard to watch, and he is suddenly like a different person again. I have notified the oncologist's office, and they will get back to me. But I just needed to vent about the awful side effects and that feeling of your life being on hold, again…..
So thankful for this forum.
