Jldavis23 I’m looking for most recent posts, is this 1923 post? I have what my oncologists refer to as chemo-induced neuropathy and from what I understand this is different from other neuropathy that some get. Mine started when I started chemo for breast cancer, doctors kept telling me it would go away after treatment t was done. All treatment including surgery and radiation was finished in 11/22. Am not on anymore treatment because neuropathy got worse. I still have symptoms, numbness and tingling in feet and fingers. It was improving but numbness in left foot has gotten worse. Also have strength and balance issues, using a cane. Taking Gabapentin 300mg twice a day. Oncologists said to keep taking it. Can’t understand why there is no treatment for this, doctors keep saying there is nothing that can be done. I feel that is not good enough, cancer has been happening for decades and this is doctors answer? Hope you find something to help you.

Yes, this is from a few weeks ago.

I also have chemo induced neuropathy. I work with my pain doctor on this. Right now I’m on 600 mg gabapentin 4 times a day. It’s the only thing they can do because the Chemo word out the nerve endings so there’s no “fixing” the problem just treating.
