Chemotherapy side effects

Hi 
I'm now on my 2nd of 8 cycles of treatment. On Monday I had 4 reactions to the Oxaliplatin. I suffered two laryngeal spasms and a mouth spasm. I then came out in red dots all over arms legs body. Had to have everything checked and all a bit of a mystery and everything has subsided now. Anyone else had any of this?

    Hello roxy,

    I hope someone who has had oxaliplatin will share their experience with you. It often helps to talk to others who may have had similar side effects. In the meantime, I thought I would share with you the information we have on our website on oxaliplatin and the side effects that it may produce.

    I am glad to hear that everything has subsided now. If you wanted to talk to our nurses about it, don't hesitate to ring them at any time on this free number: 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.

    Best wishes,

    Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
