Default PN from chemo drugs

Hi, I'm new here. I'm writing on behalf of my mother who is experiencing severe PN brought on by chemo drugs Paclitaxel and Carboplatin. She has small-cell ovarian cancer, diagnosed a few months ago.

The PN happened during the third cycle of chemo and has left her bed-bound and demotivated. She's on gabapentin and oromorph, as well as slow-acting morphine sulphate.

Wondering if anyone has had any experience with such severe PN following chemo? Any successful treatments?

Many thanks,

Nick.
