What happens at the cancer center when you go in for your chemotherapy infusion? What is it like wearing the 5-FU chemo pump for 46 hours after you’re done at the cancer center? Will you be able to do anything while on the chemo FOLFOX? Find out the answers to these and many more questions in this video where I discuss the details of what going through chemo is really all about.
My name is Jelena. I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Rectal Cancer in May of 2016. I went through 28 days of radiation and oral chemotherapy, surgery to remove 12” of my colon/rectum and 17 lymph nodes plus had an ileostomy created, then had a port implanted and went through 8 rounds of FOLFOX chemotherapy. After all that was over, I had my ileostomy reversed and it was declared that I had No Evidence of Disease (NED). Life doesn’t just magically return to normal once cancer treatment ends. This channel follows the journey from my symptoms all the way to how I’m dealing with life today.
