Guest guest Posted June 20, 2004 Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 Well, I've had my first treatment of 5FU/LV/CPT11 (folfiri). I start my second one tomorrow (they are every two weeks). I have previously had 5FU/LV and CPT11 by themselves, but now I'm getting them together in this cocktail. I did pretty well except for about 12 hours of throwing up on the morning of day 3, when I needed to take my 5FU drip bottle back. I had never thrown up before. I also did a lot of sleeping that week. I had about six hours of hiccups, but nothing that went into the night and could disturb sleep. I have not had diarrhea yet, and have had no hair loss (which went with CPT11 before). So it's all a little bit different. The second cycle, I will be a little better prepared. All in all, it's not too bad. The chest port worked well. Barry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
