Hi everyone, my husband is now on no treatment at all as his Incologist says he needs a break from Chemotherapy. Last folfuri +cetuximab was a month ago. We are not due to see the consultant until mid January but in the meantime, lots of constipation and /or lower back pain, sleepless nights. Our GP surgery is good, they have now recommended a plant based diet and prescribed codeine for the pain and movicol to counteract the resulting constipation. I feel as though we ate in limbo. If we ask advice of the oncology team they just say go to A &E or see your GP. I feel we have been abandoned . He has has very little sleep for thr past week and can rarely get comfortable. Any advice on pain relief versus constipation would be much aporeciated
