Guest guest Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Hello everybody. I have a question for anyone that might be so kind to answer it.... Is peripheral neuropathy after oxaliplatin and 5-FU, 12 rounds permanent? If it does go away, then when? I hope that someone out there can answer this question. Thanks in advance. Heal well.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Hi Richard,Let me give you the following link that explains oxaliplatin induced peripheral neuropathy. I do want to highlight one sentence in this site:Importantly, these symptoms are consistently reversible with the majority of patients recovering from grade 3 neurotoxicity to grade 1 or less within 6–12 months of therapy discontinuationhttp://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=1661634 oleander soup , Richard Pikman <asfc07078 wrote:>> > Hello everybody.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Hi Richard, My guess is it's permanent. I had CHOP with peripheral neuropathy. The hands recovered most of their feeling but the feet never did..... Price we pay for letting the croaker poison us. Sorry, if this isn't the answer you wanted to hear.
