So my dear old mum 58, stage 4 adenocarcinoma on her ascending colon with mets around her abdominal cavity and a lesion on her sigmoid colon had her first chemo Friday (folfiri and cetuximab) she took it well until Sunday where she felt a bit strange, some metallic taste in her mouth and bit of chemo brain and a slight upset stomach. None of the side effects they warned us about the nurses gave her a bunch of meds for diarrhoea and appetite and nausea except since the chemo and warned us of all sorts of side effects they expected ... only side effect (if it is?) is that she has been sleeping continuously since Saturday and always seems to be wanting to sleep....
Is this normal? She even fell asleep at the cancer centre today where she had an appointment upright in a chair, she must be sleeping I would guess 16+ hours a day. Her energy seems fine when she is moving around but she is sleeping like a cat.
How did folfiri go for everyone else?
