Mark is off the oxaliplatin now, but the neuropathy remains.  Our oncologist said that after you go off the medication the neuropathy usually increases for the next two months and then it kind of slowly over the next 6 months will disappear - or in some cases it will remain. 

We are hoping Mark's will start getting better soon.  Keep us updated on how this goes for your husband.  I'll be interested to know if you find anything that helps as well.
