I have had small fiber neuropathy for 25 years controlled with gabapentin 800 mg. 3 x daily plus exercise. Just had my first chemo and PN was quite severe plus balance issues. Does the PN pain get worse with each subsequent treatment?

Welcome Carol @carolmorrissey, Sorry to hear your chemo treatment has caused your neuropathy to get worse. There is another related discussion that you might find helpful to learn what others have shared.

Have you discussed the PN and balance issues getting worse after the chemo with your doctor to see if they may have some suggestions to help with the side effects?
