I've been undergoing chemotherapy for colorectal cancer and have been prescribed Oxaliplatin (Eloxatin AQ 100mg Inj, 20ml) as part of my treatment. While I understand that this medication is essential for targeting cancer cells, I'm really struggling with the side effects. Does anyone have tips on managing the cold sensitivity, especially numbness and tingling in the hands and feet? I'm also curious about how others handle the gastrointestinal issues and general fatigue. Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated!

I recently started Oxaliplatin treatments and was curious to hear from anyone else who's experienced this. What side effects did you encounter and how did you manage them? Any tips on dealing with cold sensitivity? Looking forward to hearing from the community.

Hello everyone, I've been given Oxaliplatin as part of my colorectal cancer treatment. The nurse explained it's used to stop cancer cells from growing. I'm curious about others' experiences with this drug. What side effects have you encountered, and how did you manage them? Also, what are the best practices when dealing with the more troublesome side effects like the neuropathy and muscle pain?
