My husband is only 4th chemo with only fatiguebetula said:Husband starting his first infusion June 1st.
Thanks so much for your information. My husband starts soon and although he has not researched much about it, I fill him in on what I find out. He is afraid he will read all bad information and does not want to go in expecting the worst but for me I prefer to have all the knowledge I can.
Thanks again and look forward to the rest of your story.
Betula
He has had no cold reactions at all yet,,however the fatigue has been awful. I think reactions are individual but our oncologist has said effects are cumulative so we will see. This week it was decided by his dr not to do chemo as he has a cold. He has 4th stage colorectol and has gone to lung. He had colon tumor removed but rectol is still there. My husband asks almost nothing and i just go with what he feels comfortable with. I am just so pleased with our oncologist she is so kind and caring makes a huge difference.

Cold sensitivityTeresa0287 said:Cold sensitive
will the cold sensitivity begin right away?
My cold sensitivity started on dat one of Folfox. I came home, took a sip of room temperature water and was startled by a feeling of scales in my throat. I only drink warm water and keep my hands and feet covered.

Ditto on the dreams. I'm not sure which chemical created them, but they were no fun.
