On 11/14 I had my second FOLFOX infusion with Avastin. I had a reaction that started prior to the Avastin portion that caused my throat to swell and my speech was impaired. I talked like I just had dental work. Went to ER and got Benadryl and steroids.
Oncologist thought the Oxaliplatin was the culprit. Today I had my first infusion of FOLFIRI and had the same reaction near the end. They called my oncologist and gave me Benadryl and steroids which helped.
They did not give me the Avastin and I went home without a pump. I see the oncologist next week.
Anyone have something similar happen? Maybe it’s the 5FU? My body is freakin screwing me this go round
