In your case; emergency response; steroids; and oxygen all helped to settle your breathing. It is important to mention this reaction to your oncologist since they may change your treatment strategy.</P> Sun, 06 Oct 2024 12:00:49 GMT https://onlinecommunity.cancercouncil.com.au/t5/New-Start-here/Re-Oxaliplatin/m-p/42103#M7296 Xandra 2024-10-06T12:00:49Z
