Re: Pulling the plug on chemo - Neuropathy - Thoughts
Not just the same situation as yours. But. I was d/c after 4 doses of TCH due to mild neuropathy. My onc didn't want to see it get more severe. She felt I had adequate coverage and I continued for one year on Herceptin. Neuorapthy can be debilitating and permanent. Its a fine line. And affects QOL
Keep the faith
