Sorry to hear of the return of the PN, @Flaneuse .... I hope the epsom salts, vicks & B12 helps it!
Hubby is on indefinite Capox chemo for Mets now & one of the side effects is neuropathy - but he also has been having B12 injections for 10 years now (due to losing his stomach to stomach cancer in 2010) and currently, he doesn't have any 'real neuropathy - tho his diabetes causes a little bit of numbness .... not that he complains about it!! So it is definitely worth asking about the injections. It is a 3 monthly thing & it is free on PBS for him (and I. My B12 levels were low too, so I am on it now as well.)
Take care & all the best xx
