Hello @susan24, I'm not familiar with the drug but there is quite a bit of evidence available discussing chemotherapy induced neuropathy. Here are a few that may be helpful:

@susan24, I was going to recommend the following Connect discussion but I see that you have already posted in the discussion and have started meeting others with your symptoms. I would like to welcome you to Connect and hope you find answers to all your questions.

Hosta here. I also have peripheral neuropathy and nerve damage in my left leg and foot. It is now beginning in my right leg and foot. I believe it started from the shingles in my left leg & foot. I also have a very bad back and the nerve damage is also from there. So far I haven't found anything that helps much! I know I hurt most of the time!
