One of the chemo drugs, which made me very sick, has been eliminated from my "cocktail"! The oxaliplatin caused all sort of nasty side effects, like making food taste awful, being overly sensitive to cold to the point of pain (drinking and touching), and painful tingling in my hands and feet. I ended up dropping nearly 20 pounds from it - from 110lbs to 90lbs. I requested to have my dosages lowered, so my doc did that with capecitabine and just totally eliminated the oxaliplatin. I'm much happier so far - not as sick. Also, my CT scans are showing either no growth or just very slow growth so far. The type of cancer I have cannot be cured, the drugs only prevent growth, so, so far okay.
