2. No pain

Currently I'm on a FOLFIRI (FU-5 and Irinotecan/Camptosar) regimen. Usual side effects are GI problems (nausea + diarrhea) and Fatigue. Mine metastasized to my lungs - kinda rare. If it went to the bones it'd be much more likely to be painful.

Fortunately I've only had a touch of the nausea, basically zero diarrhea, thankfully, but the fatigue does hit me primarily and hard. Didn't lose all my hair, but enough that it was looking like crap and so I shaved the rest.

No pain, but I wouldn't say no to some medical marijuana, if only I lived in a medical marijuana state (alas, I'm in NH).

Could be worse. Main thing is to keep from getting depressed, because this stuff usually has a five-year endpoint. I think I'll do better than that, having caught it earlier, but I'm not making any super long-term plans.

Thanks Kesha. Hope you are doing well as well.
