I am sorry things are so rough for you. I appreciate your honesty as it give those of us behind in treatment you a realistic picture of what's ahead. I don't like euphemisms, but facts. Honestly everyone's comments and suggestions are great. I found No Crack Super Hand Cream works great, doesn't make my hands feel oily, slippery.

You're almost there. I had six rounds of Xelox also. I remember how excited I was for my last round. Hope your next 3 weeks aren't too bad.

A person on another board thought that we were all doing pretty well because we didn't often express our problems.
I do like to tell it like it is and prefer that others do the same. The first two stages weren't that bad for me but the third phase has been tough. And I know that it's tough for a lot of other people. There are a few people that don't have problems with Oxaliplatin but I think that the percentage is small.

Things are quiet from you. Hope you are doing okay!
