Help, I have come on with neuropathy, just been in tears it’s horrendous. I did mention it to the chemo nurses on Monday when I was last in as just come on. I have one session left of paclitaxal and carboplatin and they said they may reduce the dose. I’m scared to have a dose reduction in case it makes the treatment less effective. 

Did anyone else encounter this and what was the treatment? Nurses didn’t mention any treatment but looking online there are drugs they can prescribe so wondering whether I should call up and ask for something? Also, when did it go after ending treatment? This is awful, I feel like chopping my hands off.

I know it’s common with paclitaxal they did warn me of this. I have just one left then 3 sessions of EC, hoping it doesn’t continue through that?
