I was given the option of either Xeloda, FOLFOX, or FOLFORI. At first the thought of taking a pill appealed to me. I changed my mind to FOLFORI after i discovered that one of the common side effects of Xeloda was hands and foot syndrome which causes cracking and tenderness in the hands and foot.
Many people aren't sure what's wrong when they are having symptoms of a heart attack. Some of the most common warning symptoms of a heart attack for both men and women are: Chest pain or discomfort. Most heart attacks involve discomfort in the center or left side of the chest.
Cardiac muscle tissue affected by the heart attack dies. A heart attack is also called a myocardial infarction. Myocardium just means heart muscle, and infarction means tissâ¦ue death due to lack of oxygenated blood flow. Therefore, a heart attack is death of muscle tissue as a result of reduced blood flow to the heart. This is usually because the blood vessels that bring oxygen-rich blood to the heart (the coronary arteries) become blocked by a clot (also called a thrombus or embolism).
