Default Most of the chemotherapy drugs based on metals--

--are notoriously neurotoxic, so getting neuropathy from them is not surprising, although in my experience not a lot of oncologists will talk about the possibility before therapy.

On the other hand, you should consider the possibility that the exacerbation of your neuropathy is not from chemo; it could well be from something else, given that there are potentially hundreds of causes, and none of us are immune from being "co-morbid".

I assume you have regular check-ups due to your medical history, and it might be time to add a more comprehensive neurological evaluation to the mix, given the recent events.

There are lots of neuropathy diagnostic protocols in the Useful Websites part of this forum at the top of the topic listings, if you want to look at possibilities.
