Hi Greg,
I didn't experience neuropathy until the half-way mark. It never got too bad. I started taking L-Glutamine power and that seemed to help. Dana-Farber has a neuropathy regime that includes L-Glutamine and other supplements. I don't think it interferes with the chemo, but of course check with your wife's onc. about what she should take if she experiences neuropathy.
I felt terrible stomach cramps the first few treatments, but Pepto Bismol helped. I think the cramps were from the steroids. Other than that, I was fortunate to get through the 12 treatments without major side effects.
