Severe Pain in FeetViews: 71

My wife has really severe pain in her feet all the time and worse at night.Does anyone have any idea what might help stop or control the pain.I massage her feet at night and this helps a little bit,but is temporary.She is Bonita and had colon-rectal cancer stage four July 10,2007 had surgery,chemo, and radiation.The radiation destroyed part of her large colon ,so now she has a colonoscopy and a illiostomy bag.Doctor said he may be able to hook up the large intestine in December if it is healed.

Side effects of 5FUViews: 192

Does anyone know if severe cramping is normal with 5FU treatment for colon cancer?
My wife had the surgery,the radiation,the first chemo and now the follow up chemo,and she has severe cramping almost constantly.

Speedy – you may want to post a comment on cecile’s blog. Looks like she has taken it.
