Hello, all,
Gordon in Atl here- just out of a week-long hosp stay for 2nd round of chemo. Seems main problem so far is mucositis.....BOY!!! I've learned a lot from these boards on how to deal with various side-effects and feel that I'll be okay for now. (at least until I begin RAD)
I came across someone's post mentioning a portable infusion pump....is this common? I've had to stay in the hosp for 5-7 days for continuous 5fu (Cistplatin on 1st day). While I am grateful for effective treatment I really have a bad case of "cabin fever" toward the end. I was not offered an alternative....I'm on medicaid/m'care- does that have something to do with the fact I've never been offered a portable pump, or does it have to be administered by nurses? Thanks!
