I am from the Netherlands. Colon cancer (Dukes IV) was discovered in
Febr. 2006.
I was treated with Oxaliplatin (4 months), Capecitabine (Xeloda) 6
months, and 18 times with Bevacizumab (Avastin) during 57 months.
De growth of the tumor and the metastasen has allready stopped for
about one year, but it is still there in reduced form in the colon and
in the liver. The last months I got problems with peripheral neuropathy
so that the hospital also stopped with the Avastin.
Has anyone the same experience. What can be done about the neuropathy.
My oncoloog gives me medicines but they do not help much. I would like
to hear from anyone simular or other experience and perhaps also a
solution for the neuropathy. May the Lord bless you all.
