In that post, I mentioned about my oncologist advising me chemo would most likely worsen my PN. If you get a chance; check out the post.

I did read your post and would also have declined chemo in your situation. I do have a new onco that I've seen once and he was so caring and nice. My husband and grown kids were never very fond of my 1st onco but I didn't listen to them.......I was so caught up in the cancer scare I could not think about anything else. I had a routine hysterectomy and when the path report came back they had found a small cancer that was rare but very aggressive (Papillary Serous Uterine).
After the chemo and the SFN set in like a running bull I was told by the chemo nurses that the doses of chemo I was on (taxol/carbo) were extremely high and they were not surprised. The only reason I can think of that my onco was in denial about the neuropathy and chemo is he was scared he would be sued ? Especially since mine didn't start until after the 6 rounds of chemo ended ?
I will be going to the new onco every 3 months as well as my Gyn. We do not have a local dr that does both.
Thanks Gerry
