Walter - I have stayed away from any meds that might just mask my neuropathy symptoms - I feel like exercise has been most helpful, allowing me to regain strength and balance, where a drug might simply numb sensation along with any discomfort, and I also want to take good care of my liver. I am 81.
There is a ZOOM webinar on managing chemo-induced peripheral neuropathy on March 7th through the SHARE cancer support group. Their webinars are always presented by scientists and other docs with the latest information:
thank you for the advice and I will try and get on the Zoom meeting that you suggested I was walking 5,kilometres a day prior to the chemo but find it difficult to walk any longer than 10 minutes with the neuropathy in my feet.... thank you again and best of luck to you
