Pt is being treated for colon cancer.Reporting (b)(6) for folfox adjunct chemo and for attachment of his 5-fu pump which should infuse over about 48 hours.The pt called early in the morning of (b)(6)2017 stating his pump was empty and had been empty since about 6:30 the evening before.The pt was asked to come in and was admitted for possible 5-fu toxicity.He is doing very well and is getting the antidote as an inpatient.This was a conservative measure since the pt was on the borderline for safe administration of the drug.The pt was using a dosi-fuser pump which works by pressure and viscosity.
