Good morning,
How are you feeling?
I hope that you're doing well.
Since we last corresponded, my husband has just completed treatment #6. Your situation is very similar to his, and if you don't mind my asking, I was wondering about your neuropathy which you had mentioned. Did it start slowly? Did it worsen quickly? Was it painful? My husband's having a difficult time with the Oxaliplatin and is noticing numbness in his fingers from finger tips to palm of his hand and he also feels at times that there's no circulation in his fingers and they are cold. We will be discussing this with the oncologist, but I'm trying to get as much information as possible ahead of time.
Thank you.

I started getting neuropathy in my feet after cycle 5 or 6. I first noticed tingling in my fingers a couple of cycles later. After cycle 8 it got worse in both hands and feet. It would subside somewhat before the next cycle. I haven’t had any pain but now the numbness is constant. They dropped the oxaliplatin after cycle 10. The last two cycles were irinotecan and 5FU. I have read and the oncologist agreed that it may get worse over the next month or two before it hopefully starts to subside. I’m two weeks out from cycle 12 and starting to feel back to normal with the exception of the neuropathy. I try and exercise regularly. Hoping that I’m one of the lucky ones that experience diminishing neuropathy over time. All the best to your husband as he goes forward. It’s a grind but hoping it’s worth it.
