Possibly: When dx of colon cancer made, resection of primary is essential even if mets such as to liver present. In liver, chemoembolization indicated. If chemo given to shrink colon lesion first, FOLFOX usually given. It produces nausea, low white count lasting short time. Occassionally if sensitive, hair will be lost. Using a band on forehead or an ice pack can then diminidh chemo to hair follicles
