After second seance I lost my sensation for food. everything I put in mouth seems like wooden sticks.

So I stay without eating for 10 days.

My questions are

1. is this common

2. what you propose

3 and most important Is there other chemotherapy variant that may be more soft

thanks

  • Hi  and welcome to the community.

    I am Sarah, one of the community champions(Macmillan volunteer in the community) and I noticed that your post hadn’t had any replies yet so my reply will “bump” your post so others may see it.

    I notice you haven’t said which type of cancer you have, so if you can share that detail then I can direct you to the appropriate cancer specific support group, where others might be able to help.

    Can I just check if you mean FOLFOX chemotherapy or some other type?
