I initially went thru 12 FOLFIRINOX , the last one w/o oxaliplatin. About 6 months later went back on FOLFIRINOX w/o ox. Have had 10 treatments. Side effects are manageable but can anyone tell me what I am missing by not having ox as p/o my treatment?

Hi Collen,
Thank you for checking on me. Day 1 was good..the steroids and anti
Nausea drugs were terrific. Day 2 - 6 were tough. Nausea, body pain, and unrelenting fatigue that actually scared me. As of Sunday, much better. Feeling almost normal. Trying to exercise and eat well gearing up for next treatment on Monday. Thank you again. Hope all is well with you.
