    Lisa, Mom is on oxaliplatin. Like everyone has said, her main side effect was the cold. She is also quite tired.

    Sending lots of love your way,
    Amy

    Lisa,

    Hang in there. My mom (77) had 5 rounds of oxyplatin and gemcitibine. She did remarkably well with the only side effect being the cold neuropathy. That usually only lasted about 2 days after the treatment. She did not have any nausea.

    I hope you do as well as she did!

    You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers!

    Hugs!

    Lisa…I relish in the good news and accept the not so good one. You most likely know already but, the “Search Function” will show quite a few discussions in re: to Oxyplatin.
    Tons of good wishes coming your way

    Hi Lisa… I was on Oxaliplatin for a while and the effects, primarily for me were sensitivity to cold and heat with fingers and feet. I hope you handle the new treatment well. I had basically the same happen with my liver and lungs. I still have great O2 saturation.
    Bless Ya,

    Hi everybody,
    Well, I have good news and bad news. The good news is that the tumor in the liver has remained the same size. The bad news is that I have 8-10 nodes in each lung. So I’m starting a new chemo called oxaliplatin today to help control it. The nodes in the lungs are really small right now. All are less than 8 mm. The bad news is that they have greatly multiplied in the three months since my last scan.

    Hopefully this new chemo won’t knock my socks off and I won’t have bad side effects. This is going to increase the chances of my early retirement, though.
