  • Hi Cubbie,

    I did six cycles of FOLFOX (5 FU + Oxaliplatin) followed by three more of 5 FU.  I experienced all the stuff that they tell you about from head to foot (literally).  I dealt with the hand/skin problem with lashings of the wife's moisturiser and the finger nails with nail varnish (clear of couse!!).  It took 5/6 months after finishing for the hair colour to return and hands/nails to recover.  The feet are still kind of tingly (like walking barefoot on gravel), but I understand it could be worse - and hey, it's better than the alternative!

    Don't know if you have any acid reflux problems with yours, but if you do ask your onc for Omeprazole - wonderful stuff.

    Best of luck with your treatment - as you suspect, it will get better.
