It is hard not to worry. Go treat yourself to a massage! Go to a yoga class.....Take it a day at a time. Remember worry doesnt help it just hurts.

I was on 5FU, Folfox6, Oxaliplatin, leucovorin. I believe that my doctor said it was the oxaliplatin and or the 5FU.

Good luck with your treatment. Things are great for me now.....
