My mum has stopped chemo for 6 months since her allergic reaction to Oxaliplatin. Now her rountine checking of CEA increased from 3.5 to 19.2, so she has to start folfiri. We heard that this drug is going to make her easier for diarrhea, are there any possible tips for our family?
It is also scaring as the CEA increased quite a lot which reached the highest record so far. We were confident but now we are shocked. Xray of her lungs showed more mets but the doc said there should not be big difference which made us worried about further mets. Her liver and renal functions both seem ok.
Thanks for any ideas.
