@tomrennie At the moment I'm exhausted, hiccuping a bit, with a grumpy gi tract and headache. I'll feel much better when i get the fluorouracil removed tomorrow. I can't ever sleep with it, but that could be the dexamethasone they give me pre-chemo. I'm on dose 11 and they've been cutting doses since dose 4 so it's easier than it used to be but I'm slower to recover. The neuropathy got suddenly bad after dose 8 and they dropped the oxalyplatin entirely. I didn't weigh enough to decrease it. I didn't think chemo would be a picnic but i wanted to at least try to live longer so it's worth it. There have been really good days with friends and family and doing fun things.

@kyshoor It doesn't sound like a picnic, but it seems like you are pushing through the best that you can. That's not easy to do. Hopefully removing the fluorouracil will help. Sleep and rest are important for tolerating chemo. So is spending fun times with family and friends. That motivates me to keep fighting forward. Where is your neuropathy?
