Re: 3 months left of life

My heart is breaking for you and your family. I am so sorry for your little one. We as a society are so removed from death and have had it so sanitized in our modern world that it makes coming to terms with it harder for everyone involved. Even speaking of death or impending death makes people so un...

Re: Reducing Oxaliplatin

Please be cautious, I wanted to tough it out and while I told my Onc about the neuropathy, I did tell him it wasn’t bad. I finally started to be a little more open on how it was affecting me about round 9 and he cut it down significantly but we had to drop it on 10. I have permanent neuropathy in my...

Re: Input Regarding Continuing Oxi with Neuropathy Present

You are facing the exact thing we are all scared of and fighting so hard to beat. I think most of us here have probably thoug...

Re: Colon Cancer Stage 3 May2019 new member

Hi Nate. 33 I experienced the frozen hand trick, I believe it was called ataxia. It’s from the oxali and is another symptom of neuropathy that you should mention to your doctor.
