Yesterday was 4 weeks post surgery and am now feeling better from my surgery. I also was experiencing the most pain on my lower right side. I assumed it was because that is where my appendix was. It is much better now. My surgeon said it is because I am right handed and hence right legged and use that side more. When was your surgery? Mine was April 16th and I had a 6 day hospital stay). Yesterday I started on Folfiri (5FU, Ironoteacan, and Leukovoran) and will have Avastan added in 6-8 weeks post surgery which will put that sometime in June. We asked my onco about the periteneal chemo but he did not recommend it for me. Chemo sucks!!!! I hope that you are pulling through okay and that you are not feeling too sick. Best to you...
