Last month I finished my 12th FOLFOX round... WOOOHOOO. I am, however, having a serious case of neuropathy in my hands and feet. Does this go away? Does it get back to normal? How long does it take? I don't think I noticed it that much during treatment (probably because of other side effects) but no...

Thanks for the input. They still are unsure what is causing it for me and it appears they are looking at BILIRUBIN levels to determine if it is a liver issue. The issue self-corrected, but now in the middle of treatment #6 it started again.

Just waiting on my doctor to respond to a message I sent and worrying, of course. I am into my 5th round of FOLFOX and starting 1-2 rounds ago I started experiencing major stomach problems a few days in each time that seemed to last a few more days. Sometimes it was constipation which lead to severe...

I am currently on FOLFOX and I had _the EXACT same symptoms_ last week. I threw up and my stomach was hurting horribly. I felt like I had to go constantly, but nothing would happen and I would cramp uncontrollably. My oncologist also suggested a daily regiment of lots of water, fiber, and miralax, b...

I don't see how anyone could not have some fear or anxiety about these situations, but I trust God in what He is doing, and I know that no matter what, we can make the best of what we've been given. I genuinely pray for excellent news on Friday for you.

I was faced with the exact same decision a few months ago. I am 30 years old with no family history and my cancer was in the sigmoid region. I initially went in with the mindset that I would have the full colectomy since the doctors seemed to be pushing for it even though my genetic testing wasn't b...

I had my resection on 8/24 (took me 8 days to be released) and, like yourself, was admitted about a week or two later because of a very high fever due to an infection. However, I am not experiencing any of the sensations that you are describing. I hope I am not hurting more than helping by replying,...

I am in the middle of my 3rd treatment and I look forward to being able to say this!!!
