I usually write for myself, I have MF. But today for a friend with colon cancer. His had his first infusion a week ago and has been unwell until today. His treatments are scheduled for every two weeks for eleven weeks. My question: do the side effects from chemo lesson or will he be sick every other week?. Any feedback about the effects of chemotherapy or helpful suggestions to ease the discomfort, very welcome. Thank you.

  • Hi  

    I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community, and I think it's great that you're here on behalf of your friend.

    As you know, the online community is divided into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join and post this question in the bowel cancer group. You'll then connect directly with others who have the same type of cancer as your friend and who will be able to share their experiences of the type of chemo that's given for that cancer.. 

    To join, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
