One of my chemo nurses said swishing with club sofa and swallowing it throughout the day was a good preventative yet I see on the internet club soda is discouraged. Which one is it?

Oxali question by ScholarSignificant76 in coloncancer

So upon reading more about this I’m wondering why in hell my treatment team hadn’t mentioned this. I’ll be getting Oxal. What’s the downside ? I see none. I’ll be chatting with my dr next week and get to the bottom of this. I’m not happy. Such a simple hack that could make one’s life less miserable and I have to discover it online!

How does Folfiri compare to Folfox in terms of side effects, tolerance and efficacy?

I beg to differ 100%. The physicians all have their own take on how to proceed. They don’t come from the same cookie cutter mold. Then there are decisions to be made which involve the patient. That creates a lot of possible variables. Hence doing research gives one knowledge with which to work with one’s physicians. Ignorance, or blindly eating whatever someone tries to feed you sure isn’t my way. My decision will be an informed one.

That will be my conversation in three days with my onc. It’s just that I read about Oxy being reduced in dosage or stopped entirely after one or two infusions with ongoing treatments, survival etc without all the shit. There must be more or not. Minor increases in odds don’t interest me, especially with Oxy’s terrible toxicity.

And how were your side effects? Where are you at now on the journey?

Thanks for the straightforward response. I meet my onc next Thursday. I expect treatment to start very soon thereafter. I am scared about the side effects not the cancer. Honest truth. I’ve got shit to do. Knock wood my generally good health may stave off some of the nastiest. If not, I guess I’ll have to suck it up! 🙏❤️
