Need hope: Neuropathy from chemo
Cancer: Managing Symptoms | Last Active: Jan 21 10:24am | Replies (135)Comment receiving replies
Was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer stage 4 back in 11/21. Since then I have completed 2 rounds of chemo. They are giving me abraxane
I was in so much pain that it took 10 days in the hospital to get me on a regiment which consists of 150 mg of fentanyl and 30mg of morphine every 4hrs.
I still have pain but bearable. My feet are getting really painful from the chemo. Is there anything else I can take to stop the pain in my toes and feet so I can at least walk.

@kevin5555, welcome. I'm so sorry to hear that you're dealing with pain, especially in your feet, that limits your mobility. This sounds like it might be chemo-related neuropathy. @needshope78 started this discussion about the exact same thing. Check out the helpful responses from members here:

Fellow members @macleish @dugancarol @gigi123 @beachdog have experience with Abraxane (nab-paclitaxel) and may have thoughts to share with you.
Kevin, are you taking Abraxane now? Have you told your oncologist about the feet pain? They may be able to adjust the dosage to prevent further nerve damage.
