In fact, thanks to my last onocolgist, I cannot do chemo or radiation any longer due to the fact that it has effected the nerves in my hand and feet. I have just been to a neurologist who said that I have 95% damage to my feet and hands from the drug Zeloda. The next chemo drug, Taxol, just finished the job. :mad . He has prescribed a drug for me to take to help relieve some of the symptoms: Venlafine. Have any of you heard of it? Are you familiar with it? I cannot begin to describe how much this sucks. My neurologist was surprised that he did not stop the chemo treatments before this much damage . Well, it's life one day at a time now. God bless.
