My husbands oncologist told us that if his next scan looks good he will remove the oxaliplatin from the mix and have him continue on with just the 5FU and avastin.
He has so far done 6 full Folfox treatments , and would be looking at doing another 2 before potentially removing the ox
While he has managed to continue to work , do some exercise and live a reasonable normal life on this combination I think he has probably had about every side effect imaginable and then some that even his oncologist thinks are unusual, nothing debilitating, just a lot of little irritating things.
I was wondering for those who have trod a similar path, did you find chemo without the oxaliplatin more tolerable? less side effects?
