my mother has rectal cancer,she started 5 days of radiation & chemo over 3 weeks ago. she was getting in the port 5 days a week 24hours straight-
heparin/sod chloride/fluorouracil and on thursday she would go to the center for 2 hours and get aloxi/bendryl/decadron/ oxaliplatin 75mg
she became very flushed after thursday treatments, she started having diahrea very bad, lost her appitite, and drank very little. the dr. was informed and said it was a side effect. i had her put in the hospital a week ago she is not much better. her system is completely out of whack and we are not getting any kind of answer. has anyone else had this happen to them and what did they do to help???? thank you.
