My husband, who has dealt with Parkinson's seven years, has been diagnosed with stage 3 NO stomach cancer. He is to begin chemotherapy soon, with the oncologist planning to use oxaliplatin and leucovorin with 5FU. We are concerned about the oxaliplatin because of the platinum. Has anyone experience/recommendations ?
