@kjm246 You are so right. So important to let the oncology team know promptly.
I have heard first hand numerous accounts from others using oxaliplatin who needed adjustment or who couldn’t tolerate it at all and needed it dropped. Hard to foreshadow who will and who will not have trouble with it, including what lingering neuropathy there may or may not be after treatment.
I don’t think most oncology teams prepare patients well enough around oxaliplatin. I was fortunate mine did. I was able to choose and chose not to go that route.
