You’re so welcome. My husband has found that days 4,5, and 6 are very hard usually. Maybe because the steroids are finished after day 3. He also still gets cramping and has been taking dicyclomine prescribed by his Oncologist as needed. He feels it is been very helpful.

I do fulfirnox also. I had cramping of mouth muscles (jaw) and cramping of hands during oxaliplten infusion on chemo days. My Dr lowered my oxaliplaten to 50% and i also now get iv 2 gm of calcium and iv 2 gm of magnesium b4 and after the oxaliplaten and I also get benedryll b4 the oxaliplaten. This has helped.
