Please post how you are doing... after the chemo . Protocol for Folfox is arduous but you will do fine. I just.finished my 7 month regimen (January 11) for Folfox... chemo recovering is tedious and I am now stuck in challenging neuropathy in feet and lower legs. No fun but one knows to soldier on... take care and let us know how you are doing

Just to add about the neuropathy... it can take quite a while (1-2 months for every month of chemo) to recover from chemo-induced neuropathy. I'm 26 months post FOLFOX6 chemo and still have some remaining isolated symptoms - mainly numbness in one foot and some balance issues. Chemo induced neuropathy also can effect anything in which the nerves are involved in often small strange and subtle ways - sight, hearing, touch, voice, balance, numbness, mental sharpness. Even things like prickly skin.

I'm very thankful that I've regained my voice control and hearing such that I can sing again. For a while I couldn't hold a tune in a basket.
