PJ: They stopped my chemo until my shingles cleared up, too. It didn't take more than a week or so, as I recall. A weight gain is VERY GOOD!!! My doctor would get very excited when I gained weight. I don't know anything about Campostar or 5FU, but I'm sure someone else here does. I hope the Benadryl and the cream is helping your mom. Those things (shingles) hurt like the devil! Love, Kathy

Hi Gang:
Mom just called regarding her visit today with oncologist.
1-The onc said no 5FU Chemo until the shingles are gone.
2-The onc said that since moms CEA went up to 15 that they will start her on
Campostar.
3-Mom gained 4 more pounds since being out of hospital. (8 total since
hospital)
Now my questions are
1-Has any had the shingles and still received their chemo
2-What is Campostar Chemo (website or info appreciated)
3-Can Mom go back to using 5FU after Campostar?
4-Is weight gain good?
I though I knew a site where Campostar is but I can't seem to find it. My
search engine is so slow today.
I would appreciate your help.
Thanks everyone.
Love, Hugs, Kisses,
PJ
