Do they have other options for your treatment ? I'm not going back to my onco....He never mentioned anything about neuropathy and then brushed me off when I went in to see him in severe pain and barely able to walk. Not that I would not have had the chemo. I really didn't have a choice.

Thanks.....Debi
