He starts chemo: Now what do I expect?

I am 2/3rd’s of the way done with my mFolfirinox regimen. The first one was the toughest for me. My oncologist added saline fluids on the day of chemo, on the day of pump removal and 2 days after pump removal. She also put me on Olanzapine which has been a lifesaver, helping with nausea, sleep and appetite. My neuropathy is mild as is my cold sensitivities. Make sure you ask your team for things (like saline fluids and Olanzapine) that can help with the side effects. Good luck.

why the saline? i'm also wondering how this is all going to work with the meds he's on...the pharmacist said there shouldn't be any interactions but...as you and i both know, weird things can happen...
