Hello 220powerguy, and welcome to NeuroTalk.

Neuropathy from chemotherapy may respond to some supplements to help repair damaged mitochondria from the cancer treatments.

http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread121683.html

They are most effective if taken during the treatments, but I would still try them, because you may still have some working mitochondria left.

Acetyl Carnitine has some studies showing usefulness in chemo.
The other supplements that help with it are lipoic acid and
CoQ-10.

You should get your Vit D level checked and also B12.
Vit D is showing potential as a cancer preventive agent. It also helps with chronic pain states.

My B12 thread is here:
