I had the infusion every other week for both the oxiliplatin (first treatment) and then the avastin. I gained a lot of weight as I found that starches really helped the nausea. I have been going to acupuncture and shiatsu for over 2 months now and I am kicking myself that I didn't start sooner. It's give me such a boost in energy and a real will to live. I am so POed with my onc about not encouraging me to at LEAST try it. No excuse as there is an integrative medicine clinic in his building. That was a bit off topic, but my point is that I had terrible side effects (hair thinning, skin thinning, endless fatigue, trots, and nausea) that I wanted to share that acupuncture and shiatsu have both been boons. FYI, I am a 55 year old female. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
