I was diagnosed in January 2020–grade 3, well-differentiated, pancreatic primary with mets to liver, lungs, parotid gland, adrenal gland, and bones. Over the years, I’ve had 22 rounds of chemo containing oxaliplatin. I know it’s controversial, but please speak with your team about icing hands and feet during oxali infusions. I also sucked on ice chips. It helped tremendously to keep cold sensitivity and neuropathy at bay. If I ever receive oxali again in a regimen, I will be icing. I receive all my care at Mayo-Rochester with Dr. Halfdanarson and Rachel Eiring.
