Neurapthy & Taxotere
Hello all,
I have one more Taxotere to go, but am having problems with numbness in my hands, and weakness and throbbing in my arms and legs.
I don't want to be a wuss, but I work with my hands all day long and my oncology nurse said 50% of patients with neurapthy don't improve after treatment.
Has any one else regretted continuing Taxotere with this problem?
I've been taking B12, B6 and 600mg alpha lipoic acid.
I'd love to hear other's experiences.
