I apologize if this is a duplicate of anything previously discussed. I have been getting diagnostic stuff done & prep for beginning chemo for a second cancer with mets, so been a bit busy. I finally got a beginning treatment plan, unfortunately after learning that things are not looking as good as we had hoped. One of the chemo drugs has a side effect of PN, which I have now from a previous cancer drug. Obviously, I am pretty concerned about that because, if I cannot tolerate these drugs, my options will be even more limited. In a group that I am in, I was told about a previous study where IV magnesium and Calcium given during chemo really helps reduce the incidence of PN. I am still doing some research on this, so do not know if this combination is relevant in existing PN or when taken orally. Bottom line, it might be worth looking in to. If anyone has had any experience with it, please share. I want the best shot at managing the 3 chemo drugs I will be on. My husband goes to a doctor who also specializes in supplements - has his own brand that he makes in house. I plan to make an appointment if this is something that he is familiar with. My husband will see him on Monday and ask; if I hear anything significant (positive or negative) I will certainly share.
