My Colon Cancer Story And That Nasty Neuropathy

Hello everyone. I am 57 and I was diagnosed with colorectal cancer approximately a year ago. I had about 16" of my colon removed. I've had the full 6 mos of Folfox treatment which ended on March 29. I was lucky that I only postponed 1 treatment by a week due to low platlet counts and another treatment by a week due to a low white cell count. My neuropothy symtoms seem to be very similiar as everyone else. The first 6-8 tratments I was okay. The neuropothy would go away prior to the next treatment. As time went on though, I noticed that it was getting worse and not going away. At one point I actually found myself chocking from breathing in the cold. During the whole treatment cycle, I was able to work on/off but most of the time, not the full day. I was told at the time that neuropothy symtoms can take 1-2mos, 6mos, 1-2 yrs, or never, to subside. I feel right now that my symtoms are not any better or worse than how they were  after my last treatment. I've had 2 CT scans and recently a colonoscopy and everything looks clean. I'm very concerned though, with the neuropothy. I've only tried a B vitamin AlphaBetic, and I haven't seen any changes. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Also, on a good note, if the cancer will be gone forever, I can put up with the neuropothy.
