Also make sure your bowels keep moving. The anesthesia with the pain pills will slow your bowels down.
I didn't poop for 5 days and ended up in the er with acute constipation.
Also if you use the lidocaine they give you you won't feel when they stick you. But if you forget it the stick isn't bad at all.
If you use the lidocaine a small piece of syranwrap will work. Don't do like I did the first time. I wrapped all around my chest and shoulder. The nurse knew it was my first time after seeing that.

Hello. I am Mercy from Hong Kong. My mum has multiple lung mets and the onco suggested her to change chemo (xeloda alone). She is going to use Folfox and Avastin this Sat. This is the first time she changes her chemo and we know that oxa is toxic to nerves. May I ask what side effects you has undergone so far (for Folfox)? I am quite worried about her as she is going to stay in the hospital that we can only visit her in specific timeslot. Not sure if there is anything we can do to make her feel better.
Thanks.
