He thinks the neuropathy could be secondary, but can't find a reason for the low blood work. I was taken off Lyrica to see and my neuropathy is much worse.

I just wanted you all to know that I am SO thankful for this board.

Over and over the veterans and the newbies have really made a difference in my life.

I really appreciate your wise advice and suggestions.
Baba222,
There are ignorant Doctors, there are arrogant ones, there are good ones - then there are Oncologists and their Staff from my experiences. I am SO glad you have found this as well.
Wishing you a speedy and complete resolution to your issues, and echoing your gratitude for this whole Forum and all the wonderful Members.

Dave.
