My oncologist is pleased with how well I’ve been able to tolerate chemo. Many people on 5-FU have problems with nausea, appetite or taste change, severe diarrhea, etc. I hadn’t exhibited any signs of nausea to speak of, my appetite was still good and the only taste change I had noticed was coffee tasted bitter and I had to switch to tea (Celestial Cinnamon Apple Spice is now my fav), but that was it. He said that if I continued doing well he might consider extending chemo out another week or so beyond the typical 5 week period.
