Hi all,
My 47 year old husband was diagnosed with rectal cancer. He had 28 days chemo (5 FU) and radiation, surgery which resulted in permanent colostomy and just had his first Folfox on June 1st. He seemed to do really well. First few days he had the metallic taste and some cold sensitivity but within a couple days that was over. He had been pretty active since then and but in the last two days has been nauseous and has had diarrhea. Since he has the colostomy we aren't totally sure if this is due to something he ate (was out to lunch three days last week), a stomach bug or the chemo. Has anyone experienced this sort of delayed reaction to Folfox?
I have learned much from this site prior to his surgery and I thank you all for sharing your information and especially humor!
