Alex, Best wishes to your Mom. Adding in a prayer.
I have never even heard of Zaltrap until you’re post; so please keep us posted on how she does.
I am currently doing Folfiri but with Avastin added. However I refused treatment this week as it weakened my immune system too much. Plus mouth sores were hurting and causing the glands in my neck to swell.
Michelle C.: I’m with you in that Folfiri can be messy.
Alex: buy adult diapers by the case as the diarrhea can be explosive. Now they infuse me with Atropine at the start, to avoid immediate diarrhea; which seems to work, but the night of the infusion is uncomfortable. One doesn’t know how much is due to the chemo or to the helper drugs.
I’m planning to take a non “standard of care” treatment this week, using Fenbendazole (dog wormer) plus supplements. As my neutrophils are low and a 2008 study showed neutrophils to increase with use of FZ. We met a man who is successfully taking the regimen. Online there are tales of people with amazing responses to it.I came to the Club today to see if anyone has problems who took this. The myth is at my cancer story.rocks.
I believe that each of us needs to be in touch with his or her body. In all of my previous rounds of chemo I never needed blood products or pharmaceuticals to increase White Blood Counts. I’m older now (plus the Onc said my body is different due to previous Chemo) so I’m making sure I don’t get too weak.
May God help your Mom and you.
