They may be able to give lyrica or similar drug that can assist with nerve pain. I had terrible nerve pain from my sentinal node biopsies on inside arm and down affected breast skin (mastectomy ) and it improved rapidly on lyrica and I came off in a month. It did make me sleepy.
Taxol chemo can irritate nerves quite a bit so it may well settle down once your body recovers from chemo. Taxol causes nerve issues in toes/hands and if any sciatica etc beforehand it can stir it up.
I haven't personally experienced what you have but just putting ideas out there.
I hope radiotherapy doesn't causes you too many issues. Kath x
