Episode description

Take a little tour with me today when I tell you all the details of my experience with my first chemotherapy round of FOLFIRINOX. That four-drug combination has proved to be a lifesaver for people like me who have pancreatic cancer. But I can tell you there are consequences for using such a powerful drug cocktail -- and I experienced them all. You'll learn about my neurotoxicity.  About a cholinergic crisis. About the application of atropine. And how I thought I'd seen my last day on my first day of chemo.
