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!
FOLFOX is doable. Fatigue was significant for me, cumulative. Listen to your body, rest when needed. And yes to scheduled anti-nausea meds. I also found Lorazepam (Ativan) helpful for anticipatory nausea before infusions.
