Hi @jintie, that’s great your symptoms were slight and cleared up. You are one of the lucky ones.
For some people more severe Peripheral Neuropathy symptoms mean they stop treatment and don’t finish the full course. It compromises their treatment.
From what I can tell it’s a bit of a lottery, like many other chemo symptoms.
According to a study online 90% of patients having Taxane chemotherapy develop neuropathy symptoms.
You just have to read the forums here and overseas to see that for some people their Neuropathy is more severe, interferes with their life, gives them pain and discomfort and can last for many years.
My only aim is to give people the information so they can choose whether to use it or not.
