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 is a narrow tube-shaped pouch protruding from your large intestine. Itâs up to six inches long and located in the lower right side of your abdomen. You donât need your appendix to live. In fact, its purpose is poorly understood. When your appendix becomes inflamed, itâs called appendicitis.
