Everything was going well while I was being infused with the Leucovorin, Oxaliplatin, Irinotecan, and after that I was equipped with the Fluorouracil and a pump for a 46 hr period. About 10 minutes later my heart was pounding so we had to go back to chemo unit. BP was 191/84 HR 111.
Disconnected pump and I was sent to the ER. Was released from ER not knowing for sure which drug caused reaction. Will continue same regimen for round 2.

That’s always scary when you have a reaction like that with a med…and not sure which one. Had a few of those too but eventually it got sorted out. Sometimes it’s the rate of flow of the chemo drip that needs to be reduced.
Will you be able to stay in the infusion center or the hospital to monitor this time?
