Hi all! Had my surgery for Stage 3 colon cancer a few weeks ago, margins clear (phew!). Now starting adjuvant FOLFOX chemo next week. Nervous wreck about side effects, especially the neuropathy (Oxaliplatin cold sensitivity/tingling) and nausea. Any tips that really helped you get through FOLFOX? Thanks so much!
Didn’t have FOLFOX but chemo is chemo. Agree on anti-nausea meds religiously. Also, Biotene mouthwash for potential mouth sores - keep your mouth really clean.
Good tip on Biotene, thanks James! Adding it to my shopping list.
