Neuropathy while on Eribulin
Hi all, I've had mets in the the bones & liver for a few years now. Over the last 3 months I've been doing chemo (Eribulin). The side effects have been ok. But over the last few weeks I've noticed ...
Hi all,
Just to update you all on my situation. I saw my oncologist two weeks ago & he agreed to reduce the dose of Eribullin by 25% due to the neuropathy. I did two chemos at that strength. But when I met with the oncologist again this week, he was concerned about my numbness. He suggested neuropathy from chemo usually starts in the toes & fingers and then moves up the leg & arm. But my numbness is in the right leg & arm (not toes or fingers). So he sent me to do an MRI on yesterday. The test was supposed to last around 1 hour. I was on that table for 2 hours. I am now very scared that they have found that the cancer is more wide spread than thought and/or the numbness is something else. My brain has gone into overdrive!! I don't get the results of the MRI until mid next week.
