I think the alpha lipoic acid has helped. I was told to try L-Carnitine also, but two days in a row it made me vomit. My feet are getting better. I had many sessions of chemo. Now I only go every 3 weeks and get Herceptin which isn't damaging like the Taxol. I don't know why they would only give you two sessions for breast cancer. I was dreadfully sick about 2 weeks into the treatment and the Taxol dose was lowered by 20 percent. I told the doctor I didn't want to take Taxmoxifen for the next 5 to 10 years as I heard it thins my hair and other miserable side effects with only a 2 percent better chance of staying in remission. It also doesn't hurt to try the D3 (5000 IU) and the K2 that I ordered from Amazon. I have ordered some shoes that supposedly help my feet with thin soles but knobby bottoms so I can feel the pedals and have them stick to the pedals. I was told to rub geranium oil on my feet mixed with other oil to make it less strong. I haven't tried it yet. I also bought that on Amazon. I've had good luck buying CBD in oil form and gummies from CBDmd on line. I have the numbness in both feet and one hand except for my pinky finger. The other hand is fine.

My oncologist told me that my body can't handle what the chemotherapy treatment was doing to me. After the first treatment, five days later I mysteriously ended up with c-diff. Three weeks later, when I got my second treatment, I found out that I have a small hiatal hernia and achalasia type 111. So he decided to stop the chemotherapy treatment and I had surgery; mastectomy on the right breast and plastic surgeon was there to put in an expander, which e will be replaced with permanent implant after I get the achalasia taken care of. I had a stage 3 cancer. Oncologist told me he that he is 85-90% sure the cancer won't come back.
