Hi I am a caregiver to my husband who was diagnosed ( December 2011) with colon cancer not sure of specifics but for sure it was stage 3. Had sigmoid colectomy and chemo for 6 months FOLFOX and NED until now May 16,. Spread to the peritoneum with ascites. Had folfiri May 17. Having severe diarrhea and fever for 4 days now. Blood cultures , CXR and urine all negative so far. Has been getting Imodium without help BM every 3-4 hours. Does not eat, depressed, and scared! Anybody with Same experience with folfiri? Hiw long did the diarrhea last? What about the fever?
What about HIPIC? The MRI showed few involvement if the peritoneum. His oncologist does not recommend it.
Please help. I am so scared and heartbroken.
Thank you so much! Connie ( I used a different name because this site can not register me with Connie as my ID name)
