Hello @mfj, Welcome to Connect, an online community where patients and caregivers share their experiences, find support and exchange information with others. I'm so sorry you have to deal with neuropathy along with the cancer. Here are a few sites that have some suggestions on treating the chemo induced neuropathy in case you have not seen them.

-- American Cancer Society - Managing Peripheral Neuropathy: https://www.cancer.org/treatment/treatments-and-side-effects/physical-side-effects/peripheral-neuropathy/managing-peripheral-neuropathy.html
-- Dana-Farber Cancer Institute - Tips for Managing Neuropathy: https://www.dana-farber.org/health-library/articles/tips-for-managing-neuropathy/

Also, there is another discussion where members have shared what helped them -- Chemo-related Neuropathy: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/1st-time-at-mayo-for-neuropathy/

Have you tried any pharmacy compounded topical creams to help with the pain?

Yes, have had this so long. Have tried just about everything. My Onc. keeps referring me to Neurologist. My Neurologist has nothing to offer at this time and has said so. Really at a point where I think it would just be better to not exist anymore. I know that sounds morbid but, thats not really how I mean it. Just so tired of the pain.
