I had my last FLOX treatment on October 4th, and my port was removed on November 9th. I was extremely tired for about 4 weeks after the chemo, which was a bummer to me, b/c I had been bouncing back pretty well, or so I thought. My wife saw it differently.
Anyway, after the port was removed I started experiencing numbness in the ends of my fingers and toes. Not like the neuropathy I had experienced from the Oxaliplatin, but fairly significant numbness. I have learned that this is fairly common, and am taking B-6 twice daily for it. I tried amitryptillyn (sp?) at night, but I was so tired the next day I gave it up after about 6 days, plus it didn't seem to be helping.
I am now experiencing some pretty severe joint pain in my hips and ankles. To the point that I can barely get out of bed in the morning. Has anyone else experienced this joint pain?? It's starting to freak me out a little.
