I’m due to start chemo for stage 3 bowel cancer in a few weeks. Had surgery and 7 weeks ago and the histology results were a PT2N1 cancer.

Chemo is being offered in 2 options - 1 is just tablet and the other is tablets and drip - for 4 x 3 week cycles 

My concern is peripheral neuropathy which seems to be a common side effect with drip drug (OX?)

I work as an artist and I’m trying to find out more about others experiences of suffering this side effect- how severe or mild it was, how long it lasts, how it impacted every day life, anything that helped relieve it etc

I’d really appreciate any responses
