Here is an easy to under pictorial of how different types of chemo attacks different parts of the nerve pathway ( as much as they know), that may be useful to some:

For those of us on taxanes, or combination therapies, it impacts about every aspect of the pathway.

I had a few different top oncologists, and I found it discouraging when they all starting asking me questions like "how is Diabetic PN different from Chemo PN?" and to send them studies and info I come across to help them learn.

Hi Natalie,

Great site...thanks!
I don't have chemo induced neuropathy but have breast cancer and just finished radiation treatments....I have pretty severe neuropathy from a previous Lyme Disease infection and all my treatments have made it worse. I posted on the chronic pain forum about Golden Milk and I really think it is helping me. Turmeric is the main antiinflammatory agent in the milk and it is mentioned in the link.

Thanks again for sharing this very informative site.
I wish you well.
D.
