Ok everyone- you have been fantastic at answering my questions and providing calming reassurance to my posts..so- my husband started folfiri and avastin on Thursday- and has lots of hiccups off and on over the past 2 days? I assume it is caused by the chemo..but any suggestions on how to get rid of them?

Hi Bev, my husband had dreadful hiccups when he was on 5Fu chemo. His oncologist prescribed something, the name of which I have completely forgotten, but it really worked. I would ask your doctor for something. Maybe someone on the board will know the name of the medication.

Hi Bev.
Sometimes ... no, often ... I get hiccups after chemotherapy cycles and also acid reflux. I have found that daily use of Prilosec OTC, for at least a couple of days before and a few days after the treatment, will help with these problems. Maybe it can work for your husband, too.
Best wishes,
