my sinuses are wrecked . I use nasonex spray morning and night and phenerghan 25 anti-histamines twice a day. I am on cpap for the rest of my days and without the sinus drugs I would not make it thru the night.

That seems to pass once I start moving around. I am going to talk to my Onc next week about it. Need to figure out if it is better to tough it out or if we should think about scaling back or getting rid of the OX part. Just don't know the right choice.

My oncologist stopped my treatment of folfox at 11 out of 12 because I started getting tingling in my fingers. It has since spread to the bottom of my feet and hands but it's livable. My bet is he'll stop the oxi part of your treatment. Make sure you tell him about the numbness. Good luck with your treatments.

I'm an 8 year survivor and I have experienced Neuropathy moving from my feet up to my calves. Oddly, I don't experience it in my legs all the time. I only notice the neuropathy in my finger tips when it's cold. The main long term side effects I have are brain fog, short term memory issues, neuropathy and all over joint pain and stiffness. I haven't had any issues with my nose and honestly can't remember if I had any while going through treatments.
Mariane - I've had all over joint pain and muscle stiffness ever since I stopped chemo..not saying this is the cause for your issues, but it's a possibility.
