@frygirl777 , the big question is did your oncologist explain why he/she said NO so emphatically, or explain any risks?
For all, I don't remember if I addressed it in an earlier post, but some patients experience a phenomenon called "coasting," in which the CIPN continues to get worse for a while even after chemo is reduced or stopped. One paper: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3480245/
It took several months after stopping my Folfirinox for the neuropathy to resolve completely.
I bought everything you mentioned)) Thank you again.
Thank you very much!
