Hello,

yes l get the oxaliplatin workover.By cycle 4 l could hardly walk and my hands had difficuty gripping.l was receiving treatment on an offshore island with consultant mainland based.Unfortunately he retired and a locum took over who was reluctant to lower the dose. As a result l finished the last two cycles on a full strength dose which left me with neuropathy in both hands and feet.

The hands recovered after a year, the feet are permanent. It took two years to stop tripping and falling over,and three years for my control centre to stop constantly informing me that they hurt. We have now lived with each other for twelve years and l regard them as the fee for paid up membership of life.

l had a stage 4 diagnosis ,bowel and liver surgery just in the nick of time, with pre and post chemo and radio,all things considered hitting my invader hard led to a better outcome than the alternative.At the time l felt l was going through misery and to ease back and give the advantage to my foe for the sake of feeling slightly less miserable seemed like a job half done is no job done at all,so no neuropathy or no cancer

Your husbands timings would match my experience, so yes it would appear to be neuropathy, but for most it will ihave mproved by six months after treatment.Keep your team updated at each cycle

David
