Re: When did your side effects from chemo started?
I am glad that he is doing well. My experience was that the first two times were the worst. After that, I would have different little annoying things like a mouth sore,but all in all it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Is he also doing the Levourican (sp), Oxaliplatin and Avastin? The Ox stuff causes the sensitivity to cold and the tingling in hands and feet. Avastin also caused some pretty good nose bleeds a couple of times. The treatments are worth it...I had 15 and have been stable for 6 mos. with StageIV mets to liver.

My first treatment with Folfox made me very ill. Once I got the right nausea medicine all was good. With each treatment I did find that the neuropathy and fatigue worsened.

I had Folfox 4. For me, the side effects got gradually worse each time and lasted longer. Especially the cold intolerance and then the neuropathy which is the side effect that made me quit after 9 cycles. However, I had very little problem with nausea but would just have less appetitie for a few days.
