As some of you may know, I have been on Oxaliplatin, Leucovorin & 5-FU for the past 4 months (6 chemos) I have been a real mess, not one good day so far, sick with side effects all the time. Tomorrow is #7 they are stopping the Oxi. I need prayers that my side effects will be less now, I just want at least one day when I feel ok, several days would be better. I have also been taking shots every other day of Neupogen to build my white count, now off of the Oxi my wbc should go up by itself, pray that it would so I can stop the Neupogen shots in my tummy. Sorry that I'm such a downer, but I'm so tired of being sick all the time, tired of just laying in bed wishing I could go out and do something. Thank you.

Hey GG, I've been thinking about you. I will continue to pray for you!
I don't want to be a downer, but did want to warn you that 5-FU has been worse on me than the neuropathy from Oxi. That's what causes the awful crash a few days later and leaves me with heartburn, mouth and throat sores, aching all over, acid reflux, constipation.... the list goes on. Praying that removing the Oxi IS your answer and that the new 5 tx's go very well for you. Kadijia, I really was sure I was going to make it through this with very little side effects, but they have gotten worse since #7. I'm 10 days out from my 10th tx and already dreading it. God bless you all! Diane Tavegia

I have been off Oxi for treatment 6-7. I have had a lot less side effects. So GG I hope it's the same for you. Keeping you in my prayers!
