Hi Colon Club,
I just finished my first round of chemo this past friday. They gave me Oxaliplatin, 5FU, leucovorin and some pre-med like benadryl to help with the side effects. I was in the hospital for 3 hours for the Oxaliplatin and leucovorin and went home with 46 hours more of 5FU. So, on wednesday I was fine but thursday was awkful. I was nauseus the whole day and at midnight started to vomit, whatever I ate I throw up, even after drinking water. Is this normal? I've read about the side effects here but most of them are sensitivity to coldness and diahrea. Can someone please let me know if they have the same reaction as mine. Is this going to get worse? I didn't have any sensitivity to cold food but this is only my first treatment and I assume that the sensitivity will kick in after a few rounds. Also, I have a little bit skin rashes, like little pimples on my body but not serious. Anyone else having it? Please advice.
