I had fevers and hot flashes. As high as 101. I took a couple of asprin and rested fever gone. I think it is just a side effect. When I snow skiied after a dose I would get fevers, I knew I would get one and treated it before it got bad. I did 12 rounds of Flofox 6. No problems since I have been off...

I had lower back pain during chemo. I would get it once a week, sometimes a few times a week. Thought I had kiddney stones, CT scan and no stones. I think it has to do with the chemo drugs. Since I finished my 12 rounds no back pain. Hands and feet still have issues.

I got my onc's last bag on july 7th. They said it had to do with Mikes OD on that sleeping med. They found a different supplier and I got my last dose on the 20th of July.

I get night sweats. Mine strarted after surgery. Wife just changes sheets and we move on. I hope they will stop after chemo.

I was taking curcumin in pill form 500 mg before I started chemo Flofox6. It was causing me to bleed for 3 days during treatment. I went off it and bleeding stopped. So I will wait till I am done and start it up again.

Bummer on the reaction. I have 4 treatments to go. My hands and feet feel different now as I get deeper into treatment. I stay away from cold for a few days after treatment. I will say if I want ice cream or a ice cold beer I will drink or eat. I do get hot flashes in between treatments. Hang in the...

I have BCBS and they have covered 100% of all med. bills related to my treatment. I have had one pet done and a couple of ct's. I have had nothing but great service. I even have a paitent advisor that I can call. It may have to do with the contract your company negoitated with BCBS. You should be ab...

I just finished #7 of flofox6. Went back to work after #4. I work outside for the Railroad in Northwest Montana. We had a cold spell when I went back. I could be out of truck for about an hour with all my cold weather gear on. That was the first time my hands started to cramp. My boss works with me ...

I just finished #7 flofox 6 My hair is finer and softer then before. I am losing some but not totaly hairless. I tell people I do chemo so I don't have to shave my head. Also look at it this way if you swin you will be faster.

I have a BARD powerport. Upper left side placement. Came with a cool braclet. My car has adjustable seatbelts so I set it to sit more on shoulder. My cancer surgeon put mine in no pain afterwards.

I just finished #6 of flofox 6. I get fatiuged after every cycle for 2 or 3 days. If I don't rest I get a fever and I am totaly wiped. As treatments go on you will know what to expect and how to deal with it. Take nausea meds more often, rest, rest, rest. If it gets to bad talk to doc about adjustin...

About to do my 6th round of flofox6. I sit in a big recliner for 4 hours getting all the pre drugs and then go and have my pump hooked up. You will have to try diferent ways to carry it and the first time will be awkword. Sleeping with it on nite stand, just remember to grab it when you get up.

You have a right to be nervous, but don't. This is the start of a new chapter in your life. I had to be opened up 2 times in 4 days. Had a leak so I needed a colostomy. Healing is about being positive. You will need help to get up if he has to open you up. I tied a rope to the foot of my bed to pull...
