Afraid what oncologist may tell me this week

Hello,

I have been on Navelbine for almost 4 weeks. I have been experiencing a lot of neuropathy in my hands and I am wondering if when I see my oncologist this week if he is going to say I have to come off Navelbine due to this.

I was told that neuropathy can render your hands useless. My onc had told that if I got it I would feel it coming on over time, yet I have had it ongoing for this entire week since my treatment.

Is it reversable? Does anyone know if I am experiencing this now if it is only going to get worse and worse.

I greatly appreciate anyone who has experienced neuropathy and dealing with it to tell me what they did.

Thanks,

Joyce

P.S. I am taking Glutimine and Vit B-6
