It's been a while since my last post. I've been very lucky and trying to get my life back to normal but I don't know if it ever will be.
I finished up my Folfox in June 2016, did a dose reduction half way through and glad I did. The Neuropathy was ok for a month, then got worse. Currently I'm 8 months post chemo and my hands are back to normal but my feet are still pretty numb. I'm going to go to see a specialist soon but the docs say to give it time and still expect a good recovery.
My ileo takedown was September 2nd and that has gone really well, the urgency was pretty strong for a few weeks and I had some leaks at first but gradually things have improved. I've been up to an Imodium every day but now am down to a couple a week. Metamucil in the morning has been a big improvement. I'm now (5 months post op) having almost all perfect days, the urgency isn't too bad and I'm not worried about going out or having to find the nearest bathroom.
Wishing you all the best on your journey here, this forum has been a great help to me and I'll always be greatful for for the support I received.
