Thanks for sharing your story. I have neuropathy and am due for a change in chemo due to an allergic reaction to oxiplatinum. I am hoping the neuropathy will get better. I had a great response with reduction in size of the tumor. I would have toughed out a little more of the oxiplatinum but it is out due to the severe allergic reaction.

I was on oxaliplatin too and was supposed to get 12 doses. We had to quit at 11 and still wonder if we should have stopped sooner. Might not have such severe neuropathy. I have numbness that is in my feet and up my legs. Causes some balance problems. Was also on irinotecan and 5FU and folfirinox. I am trying to get some answers as to why after all this time, I get such pressure in my stomach area after eating. I try to keep the meals smaller - don't always succeed.
