I posted back in March and we have new updates and need some input. The Opdivo treatment did not suppress the cancer and it’s taken a hold in his lymph nodes. Confirmed via biopsy it’s the same cancer and metastatized. Oncologist started him on FOLFOX this last Monday. Husband chose to do Xeloda in pill form versus pump. He did infusion and first dose of pills. 3 hours after he finished he had a very bad reaction - uncontrollable vomiting, profuse sweating (I mean A LOT), freezing despite having 4 blankets and a wool beanie on. He ended up in ER and it took them several hours and admitting him to get the vomiting under control.Has anyone else had this experience with FOLFOX?
We meet with oncologist next week and we’re a little nervous to proceed with this treatment plan. Can’t go to ER every time he gets treated…
