Hi Pat,
I moved your question about treatment for chemo-induce neuropathy to this existing discussion related to breast cancer.

I'm sorry to hear that the neuropathy has not yet subsided. Does it feel like it is getting worse or staying the same?
I'm not sure if this is what you have, but some of this information may be helpful

My neuropathy was caused by chemotherapy. It does not go away, but hopefully you can work to make it more tolerable and take medication for it. I exercise, stretch, yoga, and try to eat healthy. I have used cold laser therapy and shock wave therapy which lessened the degree of pain. There are several supplements, and or supplement regimens, that many people take and these regimens work for them. There are so many things to read, @johnbishop provides so many helpful links.
One of my chemo nurses told me that my neuropathy was not caused by chemotherapy. So. I never considered her a good source of health or any other information after that answer.
