Hello Everyone,
A quick update and then onto another one of my many questions :)
My dad was hospitalized for 6 days after his 1st chemo treatment (cisplatin and irinotecan) due to severe nausea and vomiting resulting in dehydration. While he was there he had diarrhea for 2-3 days. He skipped the next week's chemo because he was so sick and got his 2nd treatment a week ago tomorrow. Thank goodness that he has not had the severe nausea/vomiting/diarrhea this time that he experienced before. He is, however, having that "pins and needles" feeling all over his body. I know that it is neuropathy but I haven't been able to find a lot about the treatment for it.
Does anyone have any suggestions? He goes to the MD tomorrow for labs and Dr appt and will ask then.
Has anyone had success with other cancer drugs that are less likely to cause neuropathy?
Thanks for your help!
