I just finished my FOLFOX treatment (8 of 8). So far side effects have been annoying, but manageable. Have had cold sensitivity and tingling in hands and feet. I recommend acupuncture and physical therapy to help mitigate the effects. I also insisted on hydration when I went in to get the 5 FU pump disconnected. Nurses were initially encouraging me to do the disconnect, but I really didn’t want to do it. Extra hydration always helps and they flushed my port.

I am now looking at 5+ weeks of chemo radiation. I consulted with a pelvic floor physical therapist (who knew there was such a thing!) and will be continuing with acupuncture and general physical therapy.

I also recommend a general therapist, because as you know, dealing with this is A LOT!
