FOLFOX is given directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous line. It can be given through a thin, short tube (a cannula) put into a vein in the arm each time one has a treatment. It may also be given through a central line, a portacath, or a PICC line.
Left untreated, an inflamed appendix can burst. The infection can then spread throughout the abdominal cavity and into the bloodstream. The appendix hangs from the lower right side of the large intestine. If your husbandâs pain is predominantly on his left side, itâs probably not appendicitis.
Appendicitis typically starts with a pain in the middle of your abdomen (tummy) that may come and go. Within hours, the pain travels to your lower right-hand side, where the appendix is usually located, and becomes constant and severe. Pressing on this area, coughing or walking, may all make the pain worse. If you have appendicitis, you may also have other symptoms, including: 1  feeling sick (nausea).
