Neuropathy with FOLFOX chemotherapy - Stage Three colon cancer

Posted by sueb4bs @sueb4bs, Oct 31, 2023

Brief question: NEUROPATHY : Large tumour removed in emergency surgery last of May 2023. Abig surgery. I am doing muy alto muy bajo as it was obstructing the bowel -- Live in Ecuador so everything related to CANCER IS OBSCURE, to put it as succinctly as I can!

Neuropathy conditions can be changeable and also highly individual. Do you experience neuropathy , how long, when and what might I expect? Muchas gracias desde Ecuador..

I have just increased my pregabalin to 150mg. Was at 100mg and felt little relief of my neuropathy pain IN MY FEET!
Gets very frustrating living with the pain 24/71
BLESS YOU ALL

@sundancerdb78 I take 150 pregain too. Have had 10chemos now of folfox. Neuropathy seems to be getting more with each chemo but not painful just really annoying. Hope the increase helps you.

As a supplement to this forum, submit your colorectal questions to an Artificial Intelligence (AI) site like:
https://copilot.microsoft.com/ or https://gemini.google.com/app.

Just a suggestion, as this has helped me immensely.
