My husband has stage 4 colon. Originally had surgery in 2016. Now it is back and in his lungs. Will have his 12th chemo tuesday and another PET scan. Then he will be taking a chemo break. Side effects have been terrible. Lost 51 pounds. .

Since my diagnosis I have lost 100# however, I had the weight to lose. Now that I am at 150 I don’t have the weight to lose but I still continue to do so. I’m on TPN and am currently receiving a blood transfusion (been in hospital since Tuesday morning). I had severe stomach pain again and had been taking oxycodone round the clock for 5 days. They knew I had some type of infection but had to wait for cultures to come back. Turns out I have c-diff. They thought it was peritonitis. I’m getting released today.
It’ll be 2 weeks tomorrow that I started the new chemo regimine which included FOLFIRI- it has totally kicked my butt.
I’m Struggling to stay positive. I know it could be so much worse than it is,
@nrdl2879 what chemo drugs has your husband had?
