Comment:
had 12 rounds of chemo, 10 with Oakiplaitin. The cold sensitivity was bad, as was the neuropathy in my hands and feet. I finished chemo in September 2018, and the cold sensitivity is gone, and the neuropathy is getting better. Hang in there!!!

Comment:
I know this drug will help me be free of colon cancer but at the same time it is very hard on me. I am sick immediately after getting off the pump on chemo days and the neuropathy it causes in my hands and mouth is sometimes difficult to handle. it makes my mouth dry, food taste funny and my mouth and lips tingle.

Comment:
I'm satified with the performance of this drug which was part of a FOLFOX cocktail for Stage IIIb Colon Cancer. The only thing I'm not happy about is the peripheral neuropathy. Not being able to feel your fingers, toes, and soles of your feet is not fun. It has been 6 months since my last treatment. We'll see what happens next.

Comment:
Terrible neuropathy and nausea for many days after the treatment. The numbness is increasing and spreading to my feet and legs. I experience sensitivity to cold and exhaustion for about 7 days after the treatment. Then most side effects go away except the neuropathy which seems to be getting worse as I am in my 5th treatment.
