My husband has been recently diagnosed with stage four gastric adenocarcinoma metastasized to the liver. He is getting his port put in in a week and will start chemo the following week. They are doing FOLFOX and Keytruda. The FOLFOX will be in a pump that he will get for 48 hours every other week so twice a month and the keytruda be given every six weeks. I want to help and support him as much as I can so if anyone has experience with these chemo regimens and can share any insight into what I can expect or how I can help that would be great or even just general chemo treatment, insight, or advice.
Also, he’s been having pain lately. The doctor prescribed him some pain medication, but it doesn’t really work that well. Is there anything else that you have found that helps cancer pain? Is there any “rules” with chemo regarding what you can and can’t do. I read something like we should be using separate bathrooms? I’m sure we will learn at his first session, but I’m curious as we have a 5 month old baby as well

Long story short, my husband who’s 29 has likely liver cancer. We are waiting on the biopsy, pet scan, and mri. We also are seeing a GI Dr next week because he has gallstones and will also need an endoscopy and colonoscopy to find out where the liver lesions are coming from. We found all this out in the ER a few nights ago as they found innumerable lesions on his liver, his liver is enlarged at 19.7cm and there is issues with the lymph nodes in the liver. The dr there wanted us seen ASAP with oncology and GI wherever could take us fastest which ended up being UCLA. We have met with the oncologist there and will see GI next week as stated. We are liking them so far, but it seems hard to book testing and scan appts even tho we have stat orders. I’m just wondering if this is expected or if we should also be trying another care center such as city of hope. Thanks!

Edit: he does not have a diagnosis yet
