Having had almost the same history and chemotherapy, the cold sensitivity and neuropathy is cause by platinum based drugs, in this case oxaliplatin. The cold sensitivity is quite fascinating i found, its like your skin reaching a threshold and feels like pressing against some cold metal.

As for the fatigue, just the chemotherapy doing its stuff, never had fatigue from the cancer.

Ahh ok. I’ve been experiencing sporadic peripheral neuropathy and cold sensitivity for years, which my doctor has been unable to diagnose, so I was just curious if it might be a symptom of something else somehow.

Thanks for the information, I appreciate it.
