I'm hard at work doing chemo. I just started taking Lonsurf to attack metastatic colon cancer and I'm curious about how others are handling this. I've had significant hair loss and nausea so far, but I'm told that's normal. What about other side effects you've experienced that you didn't expect? How did you cope? What questions should I be asking my doctor about side effects that aren't listed? Are there any supplements or lifestyle changes you found helpful? Also, does anyone know about generic versions? Thanks in advance for sharing your experience! If you have any advice on coping with lethargy and fatigue, I'd love to hear it.
