The Capecitabine pills are just as rough as the Oxaliplatin. 5FU in this fashion is deemed tougher than the 5FU thru the port... but can be a more effective cancer killer. The cold capping for hair loss is useless (from all that I have talked to)... besides, hair grows back soon enough when done with treatments. But the cold gloves and socks have helped many that I have talked to by lessening neuropathy. Some just hold frozen plastic water bottles during the Oxaliplatin infusions.
