I had my 6th infusion on Monday. After discussing my severe stomach pains that I have after every infusion the doctor prescribed some muscle relaxers for me. They did nothing to help. Since the effects of the chemo are cumulative the stomach pains were worse and more often this time. My neuropathy is worse this time also. I can touch nothing that is cold, or even metal at room temps, and when I breathe in cold air it hurts. I have decided to alter my treatment. I spoke with Katmai and I have an appointment to speak with my doctor on November 11th about my options. I will either take the 5FU pills, lower my infusion dose, or just be done.
Since my prognosis was real good without doing any of the chemo or radiation I should be in pretty good shape having done all of my radiation and 75% of my chemo.
