Presumably, you're starting your second cycle of FOLFOX next week (Monday?)

Are you prepared for this cycle?

Are you doing anything special in preparation for this cycle? And what have you learned from the first cycle?

If it were me, I would give the port surgery a month or more to heal before doing any highly vigorous exercise. This is because if the port cannula becomes dislodged there is the risk of extravasation, and the fact that any surgeries (like a re-implantation of a port) are ill-advised while still on ...

I’m not sure. I was eating smaller meals but more frequently to help with digestion issues. I lost about 5kg during chemo. Having these issues during chemo is inevitable.

What kind of anti oxidants do you take? Basically the same ones that you mentioned above in your post -- but in moderation, not in big doses. Also, I didn't take any anti-oxidants while on chemo or while on chemo/radiation -- only started taking anti-oxidants in the 5-year post-treatment surveillan...

I have been taking anti-oxidants every day for the past 10 years. So far no mets, no recurrences. I first got the idea for this from the book AntiCancer by Dr. David Servan-Schreiber

... I also had a low tumor and a ULAR. And yes, it did impact me quite negatively. It’s so impactful that the head colorectal surgeon at MSK is leading the study to find a non surgical alternative.
