My husband has Secondary Cancer of Unknown Primary which means they don’t know where the cancer has spread from.
he started treatment about 10 days ago. He had an infusion on day 1 then has 14 days of tablets to take before having a 7 day rest then starting again with the infusion. He is getting oxaliplatin on the drip & capecitabine in tablets.
He had side effects of the infusion which have worn off (cold sensitivity & arm tingling) but he has other side effects which are still ongoing (lack of interest in food, lethargy, feeling weak). I think this is because of the chemo tablets. Does anyone else have experience of chemo tablets? My main concern is him loosing weight because he’s not eating enough. He tries to eat but isn’t enjoying anything which makes eating a struggle.
