The article on managing the neuropathy is most helpful. I had 10 or 11 oxaliplatin treatments and wound up with significant nerve damage. I list most all proprioception and the muscle atrophy was obvious from the nerve damage. My hands looked like my mother’s who lost nerves in her hands from polio. I stopped the oxaliplatin almost a year ago and continued with 5fu, campostar, and leucovorin. At the PET scan in October and again in February my cancer showed no growth. I am continuing on chemo and my Ca19-9 is down to 16. Do you know of any protocols as to how long to stay in chemo. I have spread out from every 2 weeks to every 3 weeks with the Ca19-9 continuing to slowly drop. Thank you fir any insight you can provide. My cancer is in operable. All detected possible metastasis areas are resolved.
I have ordered cold gloves & socks to wear during the infusions however I am concerned about when the not being able to touch anything cold from the fridge or freezer begins. Like how long after the infusion ends? I have no idea what to expect.
I also plan to use Kali Phosphoricum 30c & Hypericum 30c homeopathic pellets plus CBD cream infused with essential oil to more easily absorb into the skin. I am now hearing that all of these are very beneficial. Beats taking Gabapentin, yet another drug, which doesn’t apparently work.
