kamada I suspect peripheral neuropathy is one of those 'we are all unique' conditions, ie, what works for one may not work for anyone else. I have experienced painful feet for five years - only when weight bearing, ie, standing or walking. I have been on Exemestane and Herceptin for eight years, never on Chemo. I've seen a Pain Dr twice and attended a two day pain management clinic. I have tried about ten prescription drugs including opioids but none have made any difference likewise with every vitamin, creams, oils, massage, acupuncture, Tens machine etc etc. - I do have a codein prescription as it takes the 'edge' off the pain if need be, eg, family birthday or Xmas function. I have had to let go of the gym, tai-chi, yoga, long walks and my only exercise is swimming. You might ask your GP for celebrex - it did ease my pain for the first couple of years. Good to hear that your Onc has heard you and made some suggestions and maybe a treatment delay is your only option. Not an easy decision, I would weigh the possible new side effects against your current situation in a process of testing your reactions and tolerance.
