Pookie,

My hubby had the same treatment as you, only the 5FU was given by infusion pump AT HOME with visiting nurses removing the pump. You should check this out; possibly you have some other health issue? (diabetes, etc?) If not, talk to them. Possibly your insurance requires that you stay in the hospital.

Best regards!
