My other half has had 1 cycle of Folfox and had such bad side effects. We expected vomiting and tiredness but the worst was the vomiting, migraine, terrible confusion and disorientation and not being able to find his words or speak properly which scared me as I thought he was having a stroke! This went after 24 hours but his head was still foggy for next few days.
They have done an MRI and there is evidence of an “episode” in the brain which must have been caused by the chemo according to the oncologist. It’s extremely rare.
Has anybody else had this? They are not sure if he can continue with chemo? What’s the alternative? We can’t see oncologist until Monday.
He also now is in blood thinners as has a clot in his PICC line. Can you still have chemo through a picc line with a clot?
Anybody experienced this?
