Looking for information on CAPTEM treatment

Posted by bnjncrew @bnjncrew, Jun 21, 2023

My husband is about to start CAPTEM treatment and I am wondering what to expect for side effects to this treatment. He has had 5Fu in the past for 6 months and effects were neuropathy of hands and feet and metallic taste of food. Will this treatment cause the metallic taste as well? Doctor said it should not cause more neuropathy.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuroendocrine Tumors (NETs) Support Group.

If you weren't a little worried or scared, about the nausea or anything, you wouldn't be normal. We are on a journey of unknowns. And, some of it might get a little unpleasant. And, I have never had cancer before. We have to figure it out as we go. That is why this group is so helpful. I have learned so much here. We are better than me. Thanks.
