Did my last folfox 5fu
Did my last folfox 5fu infusion in Apr and still have no feeling in feet and fingers. No pain, just numbness.
But its better than the alternative and can adj to it, hopeing it will come back one day.
Otherwise feel great. Glad to be back at work and some normalcy. Just keep the testing up.0 -
Hi Vicki
I have found that the times that I've stopped chemo, especially the Erbitux, that I felt better very soon after stopping. I don't know the extent of your "journey" but I found that I've had a series of new normals. I do not expect to be the pre-cancer Phil again and that's OK with me. Good and bad came with the diagnosis.
I'm VERY happy to hear that you are NED, I hope you get back to your old self soon. There's no reason why you shouldn't.

Finished Folfox in April
I finished Folfox in April and after about 2 months I got my energy back but the nueropathy first got worst and then started to get better but I too still have numbness, sensitivity to cold and burning sensations in my feet and numbness in my fingers.
Hope you do OK with the neuropathy.

When I did FOLFOX it took about 3 months to feel better but about 6 months to feel completely like my old self again. But everyone is different. Congrats on being NED!!:)Melissa0
