For those who have done folfiri and/or 5-FU, is it correct that the pump is connected for 48 hours and disconnect can take place after 48 hours have passed since the "start" time of treatment? I need to schedule the local cancer center appointment and don't know if it can be scheduled for 10:30 am on a Wednesday when the "folfiri" treatment has been scheduled for [to start at] 10:30 am on the previous Monday. My husband is indisposed every Wednesday afternoon with a work obligation, so information about disconnect time would be greatly appreciated.
Also, how long does a 5-FU infusion take? Thanks!
