I had emergency surgery in April to remove a tumour that was blocking the bowel. The surgeons removed the large intestine and made an ileostomy that will probably be permanant. I had 8 three week cycles of adjunctive chemo: capecitabine and oxaloplatin (for the first 4 cycles). Oops pressed send too soon. My question now concerns post chemo symptoms. Is there a known set of "withdrawal" symptoms that I have to get through? The chemo ended 2 months ago and the last 3 or 4 weeks I have had itching (feels like mosquito stings) on the abdomen, ankles and feet, elbows and arms that doesn't seem to be going away. When I saw the oncologist in December he denied it was anything to do with the meds and probably an allergy. Anybody had a similar experience?
