It's not an easy journey. I just finished my sixth Folferinox treatment and it is very strong stuff, as my doctor keeps reminding me. Seems everyone reacts differently, and I have found that some side effects vary from treatment to treatment. I have had side effects such as diarrhea, GERD, fatigue, and nausea. My doctor has related that many folks have much stronger side effects and require hospitalization. He says that I have tolerated it well. It's very difficult not to be discouraged, but you are not alone. Best wishes to feel better.

Had every side effect except puking. My eyes felt like someone was stabbing them.they throbbed all day and I couldn’t go out into the light. Neuropathy on toes and fingers that lasts a long time and slight hebe palpitations .

Here’s the kicker-it didn’t work!
They tried another regime that didn’t work and now I am no longer at the curative stage but palliative with starting with a small tumor near my spleen. It’s now too big for surgery and they believed it has spread to liver when I kept telling that I wanted to stop and do radiation
Wish I was stronger with my treatment.
