Hubby is on Cetuximab and Folfiri (fortnightly) eating okay and stoma bag working.  He has been complaining of stomach pains for a day or two after treatment like someone has punched him in the stomach.

Any suggestions why this is happening?

Thank you.

  • Hi  as always, the best people to get answers for your questions would be your husbands clinical team……

    I personally have not had these drugs and as this is a general cancer group so you ‘may’ get some replies……. but you may want to put a post up in the Bowel (colon and rectum) cancer support group as well as you will get help from others who are navigating the 'exact’ same journey.
