Diagnosed with colon cancer after bowel operation for obstruction.stage 3,2 lymph nodes out out of 17..started chemo in sept.22, just finished session 8. I'm 82 retired Army, every 14days I undergo Fluorouracil iv followed by pegfilgrastim injection.
My side effects has been minor dirrea,which is easily checked with a pill of Imodium ad. No pain,no nausea.severe loss of taste, my mouth is not sore,but feels like but into a green persimmon. I have 4 more sessions. I wish you luck, I do feel that your outcome will be favorable.
