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.
Where Is Appendix Located? Appendix is usually located in the right lower abdomen, between the navel and the upper part of the pelvic bone (Picture 1). The exact location differs from person to person, but is usually at or few inches around the McBurneyâs point â two thirds of distance between the navel and upper part of the pelvis (Picture 1).
