I agree Sevenyear. I used B6 and B12 and it helped some, but I think the real help is just time. 18 months and still have the problem with the bottom of my feet but at least the hands are back to normal. I guess patience is the key!!!

I found out that I didn't have to eat and drink everything warm,,,,,just for the first 4 or 5 days, which include the days I was being treated. My Oncologist suggested that I tr...

My oncologist told me to take a multi vitamin and eat whatever tasted good to me. He said during Chemo it worked better to eat several small meals and try different things to see what tasted good enough to eat. A lot of food had no flavor at all to me so didn't eat much at all. Mostly, cold cereals...
