Side Effects (Pain): My tumors are growing despite chemo, and for the first time, the cancer is causing pain. The tumors are pressing on my femoral nerve, and I can no longer walk more than a 200 yards or so without severe, debilitating pain.

Drug or Chemo Therapy (Chemotherapy): Recently started Folfiri, and my first 2 cycles have gone surprisingly smoothly. However, I'm not up to full dosage yet, and they haven't added the Avastin. Round 3 starts tomorrow.
