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.
The appendix - a narrow, finger-like pouch between 5cm and 10cm long - is attached to the beginning of the large intestine on the right side of the abdomen. But because of its length, the tip can lie in different positions, in the pelvis, in front of the bowel or, as Simon's was, behind the bowel.
