Update - Stage 3b, mid-CAPOX

[Readerokie]

My husband is now 2 months out from his colon resection a CD is finishing Round 2 of his CAPOX 3- month regimen. So far, so good. The main side effect is nausea, which he controls well with medical marijuana. He's actually put on some weight, and has the energy and drive that I remember from several years ago

We did freeze some sperm but the samples were very low- quality, good only for IVF. Our otherwise good healthcare won't cover that, so we've scraped enough together (and borrowed from family) for one IVF cycle. We start in September - fingers crossed!

I am a 3b too and did six rounds of capox. Your husband is halfway...he will be done before you know it and this will be in the review mirror. So glad he is doing well...yay for medical marijuana. I think I would have fared better if I had some edibles! Very best of luck with IVF in September.

I am 3C, I was also prescribed 3 months CAPOX. Just finished my second round and on the week break. I’ve had side effects more on the second round but manageable. A little skeptical with the 3 month prescription being 3C but was recommended based on the latest IDEA analysis.
Nausea the first few days of infusion is pretty bad for me too. I need the nightly Olanzapine I was prescribed and MM during the day to cope with it. Swallowing is also a bit tough for 2 or so days.
