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!
For me (on CapeOX, which has Oxaliplatin too), it was worst for the first 3-5 days after infusion, then gradually faded before the next cycle. Annoying, but not constant. Tingling neuropathy can be cumulative though, so report it early!
