Subject: RE: Question about side effects.

Hi...

I had posted here just the other day...see "vomitting husband"...because my husband is stage iv with extensive liver mets.  He has had 9 rounds of folfox w/oxi and he tolerated it very well, but it stopped working about round 5 but that provider wouldn't change the mix of chemo.  At new facility and they put him on Folfox w/ oxi and Avastin.  My husband has been very sick.  On the first cycle of chemo without Avastin, he would still be bubbly and active in every way.  With the Avastin, he was sick immediately after he came home and has been almost completely bed ridden since...much naussea, which he didn't have before, and throwing up several times..got a case of the hickups and severe belching/acid reflux which he has never had previous to cancer.  Very tired and not able to eat.  We have our oncologist visit tomorrow and can't wait to hear what the doc has to say and what he may do for my husband.  I have felt horribly bad for my guy.  I empathize with all you are going through and for your hubby as well.  Don't know if this helps, probably just has frightened you which I didn't mean to do.  Hopefully your hubby won't have these symptoms at all.  I wish the best for him.

Prayers
