I’m still getting chemo every two weeks. I don’t have the terrible pain I did before with oxsalyplatin (so?). But I still have considerable pain in my toes and an unpleasant sensitivity on my fingertips. The first few days after treatment, I don’t feel well. I manage nausea with Gummies. They also help with the pain in my feet and hands.

I wish I had a longer period between treatments so that I feel well enough to travel and see family.

But overall, I’m doing well.

@djchambers You are sticking with the treatment through some challenges. That is difficult to do. I commend you for doing that! I am glad that the gummies are helping. I too get the hand and foot/toe pain. For me, compression socks and gloves help. I also use arnicare gel. They don't make the pain go away, but they seem to take the edge off. Have you tried anything like that? I am plugging along with my capecitabine regimen. Thanks for asking.
