Hi Hope, I saw your posting on P neuropathy, was it caused by the Abraxane do you think?
I had Taxotere over 2 years ago, the regime being 18 treatments, 3 weeks on and 1 week off. I only lasted to 15, it affected my muscles in my legs, P Neuropathy was a problem and has since got worse, especially in my feet, with tingling, burning and some shooting pains through to my toes. I occasionally lose my balance as there is some loss of feeling and even had to change my style of sandals!
For the past 6 weeks or so, I have tried a product from the US, Vit B12 methylcobalamine and Thiamine, (used for diabetic PN) but it doesn't seem to have helped me so I'm back to the drawing board. My onc is suggesting something that might alleviate the side effects but she said it won't be a cure, but I'll wait until I finish the vitB12 stuff. Maybe it's Neurontin under a different name that she has in mind.
Take care
Barb
