Neuropathy from previous chemo

Hello , I was wondering what drug was used in your treatment . I too have long duration neuropathy in my feet . I am now needing chemo . Claims are that F5u and capsi—-something or other , used together or alone are low risk for more damage . It is the oxipilantin , FOLFOX , all the OX ones are hard on the nerves . That’s my understanding . Newly diagnosed . Don’t see my oncologist until thurs.

I had lung cancer 9 years ago and carbo/taxol gave me neuropathy in my feet instantly after my first full dose. I believe it's the taxol that did it! I'm also type 2 diabetic, but it's controlled. I do not take any of the seizures drugs the doctors keep pushing. I believe gabapentin and drugs like it actually kill your nerves. I want mine to heal, not die. I take vitamins, exercise my toes, and keep them warm. I still work 40 hours a week as a medical transporter and no one would know I have problems with my feet .

Talk to your oncologist about possible actions during chemo that may help to mitigate Neuropathy, whether drug options or other means.
