Prevent neuropathy from getting worse with chemo

Hello @essarrbee, Welcome to Connect. I'm sure you are not alone with your neuropathy concerns. I only have numbness with my neuropathy but definitely don't want it to get worse from another treatment. While you wait for members with experience to respond, you might find this related discussion helpful:

Have you discussed your concerns with your care team to see if they might also have some suggestions?

Thanks for the linked discussion. I've spoken with my doctor and my worry is also on his list of concerns but he did not have any suggestions for prevention. I also spoke to a couple of chemo nurses and one recommended vitamin B6 which is supposed to help prevent additional damage to nerves.
