We are following the same journey... I had my resection in January too, staged like you, with 2/12 nodes affected and on Folfox!
My oxi was withdrawn after 4 treatments due to neuropathy.
Losing the oxi made such a big difference!
I feel as though I've got my life back! Apart from my feet, neuropathy almost gone, far less fatigue, stopped Zofran as the Emend and Prednisolone now keep the nausea at bay. With the oxi, I always felt it lurking in the background! I also find my morale is great now...no more tearfulness!
I still have sore eyes and nose and horrible acid reflex but have started omiprazole to control this. So you can look forward to an easier time now!
Sending love and hugs across the miles and hoping that you too notice a huge positive difference now!
