Managing late effects of treatment
As far as I can tell this category has not been visited for some time. IN light of that I thought I would start another thread at risk of bad form for this site: I am a 49 ish male who found myself here looking to understand some things going on with myself.

Need info
I've been started on Oxiliplatin and have read many blogs about the side effects, especially long term effects. Is there anyone that can tell me where to find research or anything that can tell me if the effects could be permanent? Thank ou for your help.

Dizzy spells
Hi, me again.... After I finished Chemo and rads I started getting the 'Odd dizzy spell' I just put it down to chemo brain. But now, the chemo brain is not anywhere near as bad as it was but the dizzy spells/headaches and nausea are getting much worse. Started of with this for probably 15 minutes once a month. Now I am…
