Today's chemo was not the best. The cold is just adding to my yuck feeling. I've fully learned which meds will do what.
Dex. My steroid. Messes with my blood sugar. As do the pre meds 2 of them mix with dextrose. More sugar.
Oxaliplatin: This one gives me the pain in my hands, feet, and mouth. Cold sensitivity. This has gotten worse with each cycle.
Irinotecan: gives me twitching body parts. The eyes are the most annoying. This gives me cramps. They give me atropine for this. And of course diarrhea comes with the territory.
I'm basically on this : FOLFIRI (Leucovorin, 5-Fluorouracil, Irinotecan)
