My wife ( Breast Cancer) completed Paclitaxel treatment in July 2018 and one year Herceptin treatment in April 2019. Still she is having numbness , tingling and muscle pain in legs. Doctor has prescribed Gabapentin first and now switched to pre gabalin , but no improvement. Is there any other treatment to reduce these side effects.

Actually speaking, the only treatment for these side effects of Paclitaxel (called as peripheral neuropathy) is time. Pregabalin does help to reduce the symptoms. For most patients, there is more than 75 percent recovery in the first one to two years. I understand it’s more than a year in your wife’s case; it will definitely recover to a large extent soon, don’t worry. Since she has started Pregabalin only recently, keep a watch. I am sure it should show some results soon.
