I had the original formulation of Folfirinox that was 20% higher concentration than (m)Folfirinox in use since 2018. I had 24 cycles in groups of six with alternating groups of just 5-FU/Leucovorin to lessen the cumulative effects of neuropathy from oxaliplatin. That alternate dosing helped in the peripheral neuropathy from becoming severe and permanent. It resolved but took several years.

Anything that helped with the neuropathy? I have read that it may get worse before improving. It is worse since I stopped 2 1/2 months ago. Anything that helped? Pain is not an issue, just loss of function.
Is there a way to protect your hands and feet from neuropathy during the actual chemo - when you get Folfirinox at the hospital and the next 46 hours? Compressing socks, gloves, ice?

I forgot to ask you, I am sorry - did you receive any naturopatic treatment during chemo (IV , nutrition support, immune system support etc? )
