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.
Main symptom is pain in the abdomen, often on the right side. A blockage inside of the appendix causes appendicitis and can lead to increased pressure, problems with blood flow and inflammation. The appendix can become blocked by feces, a foreign object, or rarely, a tumor. If the blockage is not treated, the appendix can burst and spread infection into the abdomen.
