So my hubby had his first cycle of Folfiri and Cetuximab last week and had been quite good actually but then for the last couple of days he had constipation with cramps which he described as waves and then finally yesterday on day 9 he was sick about six times and I honestly thought he had a blockage and was so worried... we put a call in to his oncology nurse and are still waiting for a call back but thankfully todayTony seems better today and has stopped being sick and everything seems to be moving on the bowel front but I wondered if anybody else on Folfiri and Cetuximab experienced a whole day of sickness at day 9 of the cycle...CAPOX was bad but he was never as sick as this and it's worrying me a bit...
