Guest guest Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 I have my chemo on hold right now. The irinotecan really did me in with over 2 weeks of vomiting,diarrhea, and weight lose. I ended up twice having to go for ivs. I am trying to move but coud not pack being so sick. I will restart once I get to CA. My plane reservation is for Jan 7th. Too busy paciking this year to do Christmas. I now have to eat 6 small meals a day. If I eat a big meal my stomach can not empty and I throw up. This is a real pain but seems to be working. I guess the tumor in my duodenum is a bit bigger and slows the movement of food. I am drinking Boost at least once a day since I am now losing weight. I do have an appt. at USC with Dr. Lenz on Jan. 19th. I am excited about that. Maybe they can do something for the tumor. It is good to read these posts gives me an idea of what lies ahead. Have a blessed day. Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
