you did not mention the type of cancer but after my bout with ovarian cancer 6 years cancer free treated with carboplatin and palitaxol i too have neuropathy my very informative neurologist told me that the protein generated by this type of cancer can cause neuropathy as well as the chemotherapy he also informed me that you can have neuropathy in any part of your body mine is down my left side starting at the waist i think the only thing that has helped my neuropathy is time and i really hate making you discouraged by telling you that for a while i took pamelor and it did relieve some of the symptoms now i just take mild painkillers my cocktail consist of 2 aleve and 1 arthritist strength tylenol a day

if your mother took taxol andor carboplatin she is probably experiencing neuropathy for some reason i find doctors reluctant to attribute neuropathy to chemo i have neuropathy and my neurologist attributes it to chemo but my oncologist is in denial wish he would accept the fact that neuropathy or no neuropathy i am glad to be alive and would take chemo over again if i had to in a heartbeat

well scoleh welcome to the csn hn support discussion group since you had surgery already you are correct the next thing is taking care of the lymph nodes with a radical neck dissection usually followed by the standard 35 radiation treatments and chemotherapy beginning in the middle and at the end since you are in good shape you should come through this well hpv positive is the most responsive to treatment with high percentage outcomescancer gone candidate for dartthat would be a decision your cancer team would have to make so if you fully trust and have confidence in them ask about all options i think dart has been used recently but the oldfashioned 35 rads and chemo seem to be the standard for a long time now and get rid of the cancer remember this is a oneshot deal you want to get it the first time so make sure you go for the guaranteed treatment from your team this radiation operations and chemo can disrupt and change the treated area over time as we age it can have more effects so you dont want to revisit and go back and do it again neck dissections are not tough i had one and along with your previous operation they would want to get all the cancerous lymph nodes out of there and the radiation and chemo are for mopping up of any leftover cancer cells at the cellular unseen level unfortunately i had only one lymph node affected but it was not encapsulated it had spread beyond the lymph node and caused all kinds of problems you want to get bad lymph nodes out of there while they are still encapsulated and can be removed safely chemo and rads are the frontline therapy using radiation and proven chemotherapies on the type of cancer you have immunotherapy is usually done later if needed if you dont quite feel comfortable with your care team or their diagnosis a second opinion would be good also even if you are confident in your care team you may still want a second opinion that is up to you clinical trials usually come into play if you have a rare or unusual cancer or area of cancer or recurrence of cancer as for you hn cancer i would think they would use the standard procedures first you dont say where you are getting treatment but if you are in a major hospital or major cancer treating hospital or a major cancer center that is good my first cancer was treated at barshinger cancer center you have prepared well and are ready for the 46 month slog but also take note it can take many more months to fully recover up to a year or sometimes more but you will get there may have done it before you it is not easy and could well be the toughest thing you ever faced in your life this treatment is described at times as the toughest or most brutal of cancer treatment around the hn area because it can affect so many functions such as eating breathing swallowing voice etc i recommend you look through the superthread at the top of the page loads of links and info in there i am posting below something i wrote up i hope it helps see what you can get out of it keep us updated wishing you the best take care god bless russ our mottonegu never ever give up so you think you have cancer so you think you have cancer or have something suspect going on in the head and neck area important many have feared that the soreness or unusual feeling in their head neck area is cancer and assumed they are going to die even if the unusual feeling area is cancer with modern cancer treatment this is very unlikely and successful treatment is getting better every year the best way to approach this is with an open mind and calmness and seek the help of a medical professional like an ent for instance many people have worried themselves sick only to find they have no cancer their problem was caused by something else its not cancer till they say its cancer verified with scans and a biopsy this is a step by step process to check identify and treat cancer whatever your problem is your medical team will get you through this many people are upset worried and fearful but the best examples of the way to handle this has shown to be stay calm and contact a medical professional such as you family doctor or an ent and get in and get evaluated as soon as possible cancer is no longer the death sentence it once was but this idea persists also please remember if you have to enter into a cancer treatment regimen it is not a quick process and in fact usually spans over a number of weeks but be patient and do your treatments because your medical team has put together a treatment regimen tailored to your cancer and type and location with advanced treatments we have today the possibility of success of the eradication of a persons cancer has a very good success rate so next step is to see your family doctor he may try a round or two of antibiotics or send you to an ent ear nose and throat doctor go directly to an ent is also and option ents are all things head and neck this is very important anytime you go to any meetings during this situation of a possible problem and possible cancer with your doctor ent radiation doctor chemo doctor etc always take a notebook or note pad and if possible absolutely take along another person two sets of ears are better than one and you may be given a lot of information a lot can be thrown at you new terms you never heard before and just too much info to process in your meeting so have a friend along also ask if you can audio or video record your meeting with any doctor you see so you can play it back for anything you missed if the ent doctor sees or feels something suspicious or unusual they may take a biopsy if something is suspicious visible on or near the surface they will send you for a ct scan with contrast if cancer or suspected cancer is seen on the ct scan a biopsy will be ordered if the biopsy confirms cancer your ent will order a pet scan basically a whole body scan with a small amount of radioactive dye to see if cancer is anywhere else in the body cancer must be verified and identified with a biopsy so they know for sure it is cancer and the type of cancer so they know how to treat it if cancer is not seen anywhere else except where first suspected that is the best news it means they are treating cancer in only one area your ent or cancer team guides the process of your treatment if you are going through an ent they may guide the process of your treatment when i had treatment done my ent initially found my cancer he is the one who later took the biopsy and it was through his office that appointments were made for ct and pet scans through his office i was set up with appointments to meet with chemotherapy and radiation doctors in my case my ent was my front line guy and through his office everything was coordinated and looked after and when my treatments were all done i continued to see him for follow up appointments to keep watch for problems or recurrences i was taken excellent care of the whole time i had a cancer team coordinated by my ent you may have hospital or cancer center a cancer team instead of an ent you may have been referred to a hospital or cancer center to handle your case so in this case everything may be at this one facility to handle all your needs during your treatment this would include the same thing radiation and chemotherapy doctors pet ct scans an ent to check you and do scopes to watch over you and anything else your case requires including a tumor board to review your case for treatment no matter how your case is dealt with there should be someone coordinating all the various doctors scans tests and treatments and followups integrated approach to management a multidisciplinary approach is required for optimal decision making treatment planning and posttreatment response assessment this should include surgeons medical oncologists and radiation oncologists chemotherapy oncologists as well as dentists speechswallowing pathologists dietitians psycho social oncology prosthodontist and rehabilitation therapists specifically a multidisciplinary tumor board affects diagnostic and treatment decisions in a significant number of patients with newly diagnosed head and neck tumors for the best outcome whats next the next phase now is for your cancer team to look at your scans biopsy physical condition blood tests possibly and work up a treatment plan for you using all the information on you they have your case may be brought before a tumor board of doctors to discuss your case and share opinions so you get the best possible treatment and the least side effects your treatment could include surgery chemotherapy radiation of some variety or all the above is possible in some cases dental care get a full dental exam and any teeth that need repaired should be and any that need extracted should be you want to go into hn cancer treatment with your dental condition in perfect condition gain weight gain weight unless you already carry extra weight eat everything you like and lots of it this is one time you can let go and not worry about caloriesenjoy consult with your doctor about your weight feeding tubeport depending on your cancer situation and the treatment plan that is worked up for you your doctors may want you to get a feeding tube put in gives your nourishment when you cant eatthey are a lifesaver get a port put in ports are true vein savers i highly recommend if your doctors tell you to get either of these or both of them before you start treatment dont hesitate to get them you will be glad later you did the doctors have experience with past cases and the treatments you are going to get and they know how it affects the human bodytrust them mask if radiation is going to be part of your treatment you will be getting a mask made that is custom made to your head and face what is a radiation mask for the purpose of the mask is to hold your head and neck still and in exactly the right position during treatment to make sure treatments are delivered exactly in the proper area every single time nothing to fear here they take a nylon mesh from warm water and stretch it over your head and it conforms to the shape of your head and face this mask fastens to the table as it will during all your radiation treatments so your head is held still and in one place and insures your head is in exactly the same place every time providing extreme accuracy in the delivery of radiation every treatment after about 20 minutes they will unfasten your mask and when it dries and sets up will retain the form of your head and securely and gently hold your head in place for treatment each time this ensures treatment is delivered exactly every single time to the cancer area treatment for head and neck cancer cancer of the head and neck is an umbrella term used to describe a variety of malignant tumors that occur in the mouth lips throat nose sinuses larynx and salivary glands together head and neck cancers account for about 4 of all cancers in the united states a diagnosis of head and neck cancer can be overwhelming fortunately effective treatments are available including surgery radiation therapy chemotherapy targeted drugs and immunotherapy how is head and neck cancer treated from my experience and observations these days many doctors hospitals or cancer centers try to treat head and neck cancer with chemotherapy and radiation if possible the reason for this is it is less debilitating and disfiguring and is usually very effective i have had this type of treatment for throat cancer it seems the general rule of thumb as per this treatment regimen is 35 radiation treatments with chemotherapy in the beginning middle and at the end of the radiation treatments also at times depending on the patients particular situation such as tumor size or location they may receive chemotherapy before this general treatment starts such as extra chemotherapy or possibly in hospital chemo for 5 days at a time each persons case is different and your doctor will consider all 3 options or more and most likely your case will go before a tumor board of doctors for discussion and conclusion coming up with the best treatment plan for you several types of treatment are available for head and neck cancers the choice of treatment varies based on the location of the cancer whether it is localized or has spread to other parts of the body and other factors surgery surgical removal of the tumor is often used to treat head and neck cancers it may be used alone or in combination with radiation therapy and chemotherapy in some cases nearby lymph nodes are removed as part of treatment radiation therapy this therapy commonly used to treat head and neck cancers kills cancer cells by exposing them to radiation it may be used alone or in combination with surgery it may also be used before or after surgery to shrink the tumor or destroy any remaining cancer cells respectively for advancedstage cancer radiation therapy is frequently used in combination with surgery andor chemotherapy chemotherapy chemotherapy uses drugs to destroy or damage cancer cells for head and neck cancers it is usually used in combination with surgery radiation therapy or both it may be given before or after surgery for advancedstage cancer it may be used in combination radiation therapy known as chemoradiation targeted therapy drugs designed to target epidermal growth factor receptor egfr a protein found on the surface of cells that helps them grow may be used to treat some head and neck cancers immunotherapy these drugs stimulate the patients immune system to help it better fight cancer reconstructive surgery to restore function of structures damaged by disease or treatment may be necessary in some cases patients will need to undergo rehabilitation therapy for speech and swallowing surgery surgery itself for cancer treatment of the head and neck area is pretty self explanatory it is basically one of the choices of treatment and can be used when it is the best treatment for the cancer you have and the area you have it in many times a tumor or cancer area can be removed without affecting function and surrounding areas such as removing a small spot on the tongue for example or a cancer growth somewhere else in the hn area sometimes it is a more involved surgery such as a tumor in the throat area removal of the thyroid gland or a radical neck dissection to remove cancerous and suspect lymph nodes each individual case is different and the doctors may have a tumor board of doctors to present your case to to come up with the best treatment options and decide the best approach which may be surgery your side effects and long term effects from surgery will depend on your specific case below is a link to a web site perlmutter cancer center offering examples of the types of surgery that may be performed side effects during treatment with radiation what are the side effects of radiation therapy radiation therapy can damage normal healthy cells near and around your cancer the damage may cause side effects these side effects can be very different for different people your side effects may depend on the dose and type of radiation used the site of your head and neck cancer the stage of your head and neck cancer your age types of side effects side effects can appear around 2 weeks after the first radiation treatment or much later and can include mouth sores ulcers in your mouth dry mouth pain or difficulty swallowing changes in taste or smell changes in the sound of your voice jaw stiffness and other problems with your jaw bone changes in your skin feeling tired side effects during treatment with chemotherapy side effects of chemotherapy chemotherapy can affect the healthy cells in the body and cause side effects everyone reacts differently to chemotherapy and effects will vary according to the drugs you are given some people may have few side effects while others have many your medical oncologist or nurse will discuss the likely side effects with you including how these can be prevented or controlled with medicine common side effects include tiredness and fatigue nausea andor vomiting tingling or numbness in fingers andor toes peripheral neuropathy changes in appetite and loss of taste diarrhea or constipation hair loss low red blood cell count anemia hearing loss ringing in the ears tinnitus lower levels of white blood cells which may increase the risk of infection mouth sores keep a record of the names and doses of your chemotherapy drugs handy this will save time if you become ill and need to go to the hospital emergency department targeted therapy targeted therapy targets specific features of cancer cells to stop the cancer growing and spreading each targeted therapy drug works on a particular feature and the drug will only be given if the cancer cells have that feature for some head and neck cancers a targeted therapy drug called cetuximab is occasionally used when people cannot take the standard chemotherapy drug or the cancer is advanced what are the possible side effects of targeted therapy targeted therapy drugs have different side effects than standard or traditional chemotherapy other side effects nausea and vomiting diarrhea or constipation mouth sores shortness of breath or trouble breathing cough feeling tired all the time fatigue headache hair loss immunotherapy immunotherapy uses the bodys own immune system to fight cancer the main type of immunotherapy in australia uses drugs known as checkpoint inhibitors which help the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells nivolumab is a checkpoint inhibitor used to treat some types of advanced head and neck cancer side effects of immunotherapy head and neck cancer these side effects are common but may not occur in all people or with all types of immunotherapies feeling tired fatigue diarrhea fever shortness of breath rash andor blisters covering less than 10 of the body nausea vomiting itching below is one persons story of typical head and neck cancer treatment involving radiation and chemotherapy it gives you an idea of what people face that go through this what you or a loved one may encounter your results may vary for example some people get diarrhea and or constipation and some dont some get sores inside their mouth from the chemotherapy called mucositis other not so much consult your care team to deal with any side effects you encounter one persons story of head neck cancer treatment hello again i had 7 weeks of radiation and three infusions of highdose cisplatin the chemo requires an overnight hospital stay except for the last dose which they fractionated because they were worried about permanent hearing damage on that yes im still getting tinnitus its intermittent and was much worse directly after the chemo but its still there i dont know if it will go away fully or not but i hope so if not a small price to pay to fight the cancer i never lost my voice but when the mucositis was at its worst talking was sometimes difficult just because of the thick mucous accumulating in my mouth and the need to spit so i would sometimes sound like a cartoon supervillain or someone with some kind of speech impediment as i talkgargled through a thick layer of yuck and yeah i used flat mineral water and every other thing the internet suggests including a concoction of magic mouthwash which has viscous lidocaine for numbing sucralfate for a barrier antihistamine to reduce phlegm and other bits and bobs all mixed up by a compound chemist you could google it for a try as it was ok from my research the best mucositis treatments are new patent medicines available in the usa and i think maybe just now starting to distribute into australia google medicines like gelclair which advertise symptomatic and prophylactic relief of mucositis i couldnt get my hands on any in time to help me i stopped eating around weeks 45 of treatment mostly because of the rancid taste dysgeusia everything in my mouth tasted contaminated a side effect of the chemo its gone now and i am able to take everything i need by mouth but no solids just hydration and the formula that id otherwise put into the peg i can drink by mouth now so ill look at getting the peg removed in the next couple of weeks yes i still have a sometimes sore throat basically the radiation damage you suffer over the course of treatment is well its just a horrible insult to your body its worse than a normal wound or injury because the treatment actively attacks the stem cells which normally help you heal so the wounds can be severe and slow to heal but my pain is very manageable now just 2 panadol today it was at its worst the first 2 weeks after treatment when you finish the course of radiation yes the interior and external radiation damage can be a problem who knows you might get lucky dont expect the worst its great to no longer have to go to the hospital every day just be ready for the possibility that you might be debilitated at that point and be prepared that you might need 2 solid weeks of pretty much bed rest and just ticking away time before you start to heal and feel better for me it went something like this over the span of treatment week 1 first round chemo 5 rads felt fine some nausea from chemo week 2 5 rads minor tinnitus onset from chemo some vomiting radiation fine week 3 5 rads tinnitus fading feeling quite good no issue with rads some reduction in taste week 4 5 rads chemo start to notice mucous problems no burns yet more serious nausea and vomiting from chemo week 5 5 rads noticeable exterior burns and sore stretched skin mucositis more severe notice rancid taste to everything in mouth can no longer eat or drink become peg reliant week 6 5 rads mucositis worsening always have to carry spit bag burns need intrasite gel and daily dressing relying on panadol neurofin but pain increasing week 7 5 rads chemo mucositis debilitating need to gag up mucous constantly accidentally swallowing any precipitates a need to vomit exterior neck burns are moderate and need dressings and intrasite gel doctor escalates pain management to endone morphine week 8 firstweek posttreatment awful awful suffering vomiting spitting up blood constipation bloating night cramps in legs mucositis severe pain moderate to severe wounds still require intrasite and dressing for a few days week 9 secondweek posttreatment exterior burns healing nicely no longer require dressings just moo goo healing moisturizing cream pain lessening but mucositis still awful night cramps in legs week 10 thirdweek post exterior burns gone pain better mucositis still bad but feels a little bit better able to sleep for more than an hour or two at a time thanks to improving mucous night cramps gone after taking daily vitamin zinc week 11 fourthweek post turned a corner with mucositis now still have to spit during day and night but its a fraction of what it was experimenting with foods but cant viably swallow them due to gross mucous but start tentatively to sip drinks still mostly peg reliant week 12 fifth post mucositis backing off more can now take most nutrition and hydration via the mouth and thinking of getting rid of peg pain is manageable dont require anything more than panadol cant yet eat solid foods although taste appears to have returned to at least 50 of precancer levels so that should give a pretty fair idea of how things have been for me you might get better or worse luck with side effects but hopefully it gives a little perspective knowing what to expect has been really tough and its easy to get into this habit of scouring doctor google almost daily i think in the posttreatment phase the most important thing is to take it easy and not expect too much from yourself your body has been subjected to a major attack give yourself time to rest and heal and if you need help make sure you ask for it oh yeah and on kids no they have no idea just dads been a little sick link below to this online forum posting of people discussing treatment side effects

cancer radiation therapy is frequently used in combination with surgery andor chemotherapy chemotherapy chemotherapy uses drugs to destroy or damage cancer cells for head and neck cancers it is usually used in combination with surgery radiation therapy or both it may be given before or after surgery for advancedstage cancer it may be used in combination radiation therapy known as chemoradiation targeted therapy drugs designed to target epidermal growth factor receptor egfr a protein found on the surface of cells that helps them grow may be used to treat some head and neck cancers immunotherapy these drugs stimulate the patients immune system to help it better fight cancer reconstructive surgery to restore function of structures damaged by disease or treatment may be necessary in some cases patients will need to undergo rehabilitation therapy for speech and swallowing surgery surgery itself for cancer treatment of the head and neck area is pretty self explanatory it is basically one of the choices of treatment and can be used when it is the best treatment for the cancer you have and the area you have it in many times a tumor or cancer area can be removed without affecting function and surrounding areas such as removing a small spot on the tongue for example or a cancer growth somewhere else in the hn area sometimes it is a more involved surgery such as a tumor in the throat area removal of the thyroid gland or a radical neck dissection to remove cancerous and suspect lymph nodes each individual case is different and the doctors may have a tumor board of doctors to present your case to to come up with the best treatment options and decide the best approach which may be surgery your side effects and long term effects from surgery will depend on your specific case below is a link to a web site perlmutter cancer center offering examples of the types of surgery that may be performed side effects during treatment with radiation what are the side effects of radiation therapy radiation therapy can damage normal healthy cells near and around your cancer the damage may cause side effects these side effects can be very different for different people your side effects may depend on the dose and type of radiation used the site of your head and neck cancer the stage of your head and neck cancer your age types of side effects side effects can appear around 2 weeks after the first radiation treatment or much later and can include mouth sores ulcers in your mouth dry mouth pain or difficulty swallowing changes in taste or smell changes in the sound of your voice jaw stiffness and other problems with your jaw bone changes in your skin feeling tired side effects during treatment with chemotherapy side effects of chemotherapy chemotherapy can affect the healthy cells in the body and cause side effects everyone reacts differently to chemotherapy and effects will vary according to the drugs you are given some people may have few side effects while others have many your medical oncologist or nurse will discuss the likely side effects with you including how these can be prevented or controlled with medicine common side effects include tiredness and fatigue nausea andor vomiting tingling or numbness in fingers andor toes peripheral neuropathy changes in appetite and loss of taste diarrhea or constipation hair loss low red blood cell count anemia hearing loss ringing in the ears tinnitus lower levels of white blood cells which may increase the risk of infection mouth sores keep a record of the names and doses of your chemotherapy drugs handy this will save time if you become ill and need to go to the hospital emergency department targeted therapy targeted therapy targets specific features of cancer cells to stop the cancer growing and spreading each targeted therapy drug works on a particular feature and the drug will only be given if the cancer cells have that feature for some head and neck cancers a targeted therapy drug called cetuximab is occasionally used when people cannot take the standard chemotherapy drug or the cancer is advanced what are the possible side effects of targeted therapy targeted therapy drugs have different side effects than standard or traditional chemotherapy other side effects nausea and vomiting diarrhea or constipation mouth sores shortness of breath or trouble breathing cough feeling tired all the time fatigue headache hair loss immunotherapy immunotherapy uses the bodys own immune system to fight cancer the main type of immunotherapy in australia uses drugs known as checkpoint inhibitors which help the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells nivolumab is a checkpoint inhibitor used to treat some types of advanced head and neck cancer side effects of immunotherapy head and neck cancer these side effects are common but may not occur in all people or with all types of immunotherapies feeling tired fatigue diarrhea fever shortness of breath rash andor blisters covering less than 10 of the body nausea vomiting itching below is one persons story of typical head and neck cancer treatment involving radiation and chemotherapy it gives you an idea of what people face that go through this what you or a loved one may encounter your results may vary for example some people get diarrhea and or constipation and some dont some get sores inside their mouth from the chemotherapy called mucositis other not so much consult your care team to deal with any side effects you encounter one persons story of head neck cancer treatment hello again i had 7 weeks of radiation and three infusions of highdose cisplatin the chemo requires an overnight hospital stay except for the last dose which they fractionated because they were worried about permanent hearing damage on that yes im still getting tinnitus its intermittent and was much worse directly after the chemo but its still there i dont know if it will go away fully or not but i hope so if not a small price to pay to fight the cancer i never lost my voice but when the mucositis was at its worst talking was sometimes difficult just because of the thick mucous accumulating in my mouth and the need to spit so i would sometimes sound like a cartoon supervillain or someone with some kind of speech impediment as i talkgargled through a thick layer of yuck and yeah i used flat mineral water and every other thing the internet suggests including a concoction of magic mouthwash which has viscous lidocaine for numbing sucralfate for a barrier antihistamine to reduce phlegm and other bits and bobs all mixed up by a compound chemist you could google it for a try as it was ok from my research the best mucositis treatments are new patent medicines available in the usa and i think maybe just now starting to distribute into australia google medicines like gelclair which advertise symptomatic and prophylactic relief of mucositis i couldnt get my hands on any in time to help me i stopped eating around weeks 45 of treatment mostly because of the rancid taste dysgeusia everything in my mouth tasted contaminated a side effect of the chemo its gone now and i am able to take everything i need by mouth but no solids just hydration and the formula that id otherwise put into the peg i can drink by mouth now so ill look at getting the peg removed in the next couple of weeks yes i still have a sometimes sore throat basically the radiation damage you suffer over the course of treatment is well its just a horrible insult to your body its worse than a normal wound or injury because the treatment actively attacks the stem cells which normally help you heal so the wounds can be severe and slow to heal but my pain is very manageable now just 2 panadol today it was at its worst the first 2 weeks after treatment when you finish the course of radiation yes the interior and external radiation damage can be a problem who knows you might get lucky dont expect the worst its great to no longer have to go to the hospital every day just be ready for the possibility that you might be debilitated at that point and be prepared that you might need 2 solid weeks of pretty much bed rest and just ticking away time before you start to heal and feel better for me it went something like this over the span of treatment week 1 first round chemo 5 rads felt fine some nausea from chemo week 2 5 rads minor tinnitus onset from chemo some vomiting radiation fine week 3 5 rads tinnitus fading feeling quite good no issue with rads some reduction in taste week 4 5 rads chemo start to notice mucous problems no burns yet more serious nausea and vomiting from chemo week 5 5 rads noticeable exterior burns and sore stretched skin mucositis more severe notice rancid taste to everything in mouth can no longer eat or drink become peg reliant week 6 5 rads mucositis worsening always have to carry spit bag burns need intrasite gel and daily dressing relying on panadol neurofin but pain increasing week 7 5 rads chemo mucositis debilitating need to gag up mucous constantly accidentally swallowing any precipitates a need to vomit exterior neck burns are moderate and need dressings and intrasite gel doctor escalates pain management to endone morphine week 8 firstweek posttreatment awful awful suffering vomiting spitting up blood constipation bloating night cramps in legs mucositis severe pain moderate to severe wounds still require intrasite and dressing for a few days week 9 secondweek posttreatment exterior burns healing nicely no longer require dressings just moo goo healing moisturizing cream pain lessening but mucositis still awful night cramps in legs week 10 thirdweek post exterior burns gone pain better mucositis still bad but feels a little bit better able to sleep for more than an hour or two at a time thanks to improving mucous night cramps gone after taking daily vitamin zinc week 11 fourthweek post turned a corner with mucositis now still have to spit during day and night but its a fraction of what it was experimenting with foods but cant viably swallow them due to gross mucous but start tentatively to sip drinks still mostly peg reliant week 12 fifth post mucositis backing off more can now take most nutrition and hydration via the mouth and thinking of getting rid of peg pain is manageable dont require anything more than panadol cant yet eat solid foods although taste appears to have returned to at least 50 of precancer levels so that should give a pretty fair idea of how things have been for me you might get better or worse luck with side effects but hopefully it gives a little perspective knowing what to expect has been really tough and its easy to get into this habit of scouring doctor google almost daily i think in the posttreatment phase the most important thing is to take it easy and not expect too much from yourself your body has been subjected to a major attack give yourself time to rest and heal and if you need help make sure you ask for it oh yeah and on kids no they have no idea just dads been a little sick link below to this online forum posting of people discussing treatment side effects

aspirin is an nsaid this is from wiki nsaids are also associated with a relatively high incidence of renal adverse drug reactions adrs the mechanism of these renal adrs is due to changes in renal haemodynamics kidney blood flow ordinarily mediated by prostaglandins which are affected by nsaids prostaglandins normally cause vasodilation of the afferent arterioles of the glomeruli this helps maintain normal glomerular perfusion and glomerular filtration rate gfr an indicator of renal function this is particularly important in renal failure where the kidney is trying to maintain renal perfusion pressure by elevated angiotensin ii levels at these elevated levels angiotensin ii also constricts the afferent arteriole into the glomerulus in addition to the efferent arteriole it normally constricts prostaglandins serve to dilate the afferent arteriole by blocking this prostaglandinmediated effect particularly in renal failure nsaids cause unopposed constriction of the afferent arteriole and decreased renal perfusion pressure common adrs associated with altered renal function include salt sodium and fluid retention hypertension high blood pressure these agents may also cause renal impairment especially in combination with other nephrotoxic agents renal failure is especially a risk if the patient is also concomitantly taking an ace inhibitor which removes angiotensin iis vasoconstriction of the efferent arteriole and a diuretic which drops plasma volume and thereby rpfthe socalled triple whammy effect in rarer instances nsaids may also cause more severe renal conditions interstitial nephritis nephrotic syndrome acute renal failure acute tubular necrosis nsaids in combination with excessive use of phenacetin andor paracetamol acetaminophen may lead to analgesic nephropathy here is the link the above is from and here is another link explaining the issues although you can only access a small portion of the website without paying

i have had five surgeries since 1992 to remove sarcomas from different areas not including my extremidies the use of radiation and chemo only limited the amount of surgeries that could be performed in the future because they breakdown the internal tissues and the risk of internal bleeding is too great if your cancer can be removed by surgery do that as long as it is possible i have a type of cancer that was called liomyosarcom but has resently been reclassified as gist the univ of ariz cancer center was involved with a study of the gleevic or sti571 drug it has been a miracle for me i am cancer free for over 18 months for the first time since 1992 i am now 52years old and looking for a new start at life this seem more daunting a task than fighting the cancer i was and am still free of any other complication like obesity smoking diabeties heart etc it is really key in maintainging a positive attitude to the current and future situations that will arise the use of herbal remedies has not shown any concrete results except in keeping yourself more aware of watching what you eat fats and caffine have been found to be more associated with cancer than not so always cut out thses foods when modifing your diet i like andrew weils cookbook the healthy kitchen for recepies that are really good and healthy another one i like is the mediterraean vegetables book by clifford a wright most scarcomas are managable with just surgery and new designer drugs are comming along at an alarming rate in 1992 i hoped to stay alive at least 10 years and then see what more i could do then it has been 10 years and now i have a whole new future because of a new breakthrough drug that was only a theory ten years ago keep current with all new studies in cancer and talk to your oncologist about them often ask to be referred to any physicians involved in studies keep in the loop of information when you get seen and heard you will get thought of when any new information is available i met the physician who referred me to the study i am in now while in the hospital having a bad reaction to the chemo i couldnt tolorate the medications and they did not effect the tumor anyway so not having it is not as important as you may think especially if it is not the prefered treatment for your specific tumor so i hope for the best for your mom knowing that the best is yet to come just be there when it comes

hello nancyrn i have to preface that my suggestions of medical treatments relate more to nonsmall cell lung cancer but maybe you can look further into them after hearing about them here some may be considered still experimental talk to your dads oncologist about targeted drug therapies that work on the metabolic functions of the cancer cells such as the growth of new blood vessels which cancer cells are dependent on i know for nsc avastin has been approved by the fda avastin works on shutting down the formation of new blood vessels tarceva is another targeted drug treatment that works on another of cancer cells growing patterns it is most effective on people with the egfr mutation this mutation can be tested on a cancer sample insurance should cover the cost as it is part of the diagnostic tests with that said i was assured by my moms thoracic surgeon that even people not having that egfr mutation can fully recover with tarceva at this point when conventional chemo may not be effective you have to expand your trials right though those targeted drugs have side effects many people tolerate them much better than chemo but avastin does have a considerable fatal effect for a few people of lung hemorrhage and serious effects of stomach perforation and high blood pressure which that is controlled with counter drugs i have heard about thermal radiation that uses either heat or freezing temperatures to kill the cancer cells theres also photodynamic treatment where the patient is injected with a photosensitive chemical and then lasers are applied to blind the cancer cells to death ive yet to actually read anyone receiving that type of treatment a better source of these innovative options can be read from the national cancer institute site you should check that site out for possible treatments for your father it seems time is of the essence for him too beyond the conventional treatments i have come across interesting studies on maitake mushrooms keep in mind i discount any article that tries to sell anything or is posted on a site promoting a commercial product its too biased and it reads too much as from a snake oil salesman in the articles extolling maitake mushrooms specifically in the form of dfraction studies have been cited where tumor regression was obtained in the range of 90 to 95 in addition this extract minimizes the side effects from chemo and radiation even the low white blood cells count i am intrigued by the dfraction and have it as a possibility if my situation was dire i might resort to it i looked into the purchase on various sites and it wasnt too bad it is more expensive than regular vitamins but not too much as coq10 ive put my mom on a dietary regiment that includes a raw minced garlic clove cruciferous veggies with emphasis on broccoli radish and daikon raspberry jam for its ellagic acid that has apoptosis properties soy milk or tofu for the genistein which prevents angiogenesis formation of new blood vessels chili peppers for apoptosis and tomatoes a cup of v8 juice has a lot of the vegetables with anticancer benefits it may be easier to consume that regularly she also takes vitamin d3calcium and selenium supplements i eliminated the multivitamin because of my concern of the antioxidant effects and i wanted her nutrients to be more from foods instead to be sure i cant guarantee you that any of those supplements are effective but my mother has been responding well in her therapy is it the chemo of taxol and carboplatin andor the supplements i cant tell you but i wouldnt depart from either i would urge you to research further on your own and discuss everything with your dads oncologist it certainly doesnt hurt to modify his foods though much luck and good prospects for your dad if you have any questions youre always welcomed to ask here or by private message

frank opinion from a peritoneal carcinomatosisoc stage iv lady dear akhlak since you wrote here and asked for opinions allow me to give mine after doing a bit of review on the homeopathic product if there were anything that would cure cancer it is assumed that the fda would have known about it by now and approved it for cancer patients vitatox seems to be in the category of homeopathic products since i know about some other similar meds which are mentioned in this article i would not be interested especially since i just buried my own brother who died of pancreatic cancer in the last two months three weeks later his wife my sil died from multiple myeloma i say that sorrowfully so much for homeopathic meds that they both believed in however they both also had traditional cancer treatments my brother had only been diagnosed in july 2017 and my sil a year ago in november 2016 the sil was desperate to find a cure and spent a lot of their own personal money to fly to a gyp joint to remain unnamed where the health clinic was selling over 200 meds that would cure anything from warts to brain cancer or so one would think my brother was extremely ill the night prior to their return home so before boarding for the flight home from idaho to north carolina he went one more time to the quack doctor the quack doctor told him that he would be just fineit was just the dying cancer cells leaving his body it was more than that my brother died 3 weeks after returning home if you have liver cancer my best advice would be to ask your oncologist about this product as for me i would never forego traditional fda approved meds and opt to go some homeopathic route and in that regard anything in the way of supplemental or otc meds should be approved first by the physicians that are treating you if you are just inquiring about this product because you are concerned for someone you know that has cancer i would skip mentioning it based on the nih abstract referenced below published online march 2017 vitatox increased tumor growth in liver cancer patients significantly rather than reducing it and for that reason i would agree with the second discussion referenced below that categorizes vitatox as a scam false hope is the last thing a cancer patient needs loretta marshall peritoneal carcinomatosisovarian cancer stage iv _________________________________________________________ sci rep 2017 7 44685 published online 2017 mar 21 doi 101038srep44685 pmcid pmc5359575 venom from cuban blue scorpion has tumor activating effect in hepatocellular carcinoma catia giovanninia12 michele baglioni1 marco baron toaldo3 matteo cescon4 luigi bolondi12 and laura gramantieri1 author information article notes copyright and license information in line with the above observations in rats with hcc the treatment with vidatox for 30 days increased tumor growth significantly more than in control rats p001 fig 2a indeed hccs proliferation was higher in rats treated with vidatox than in control rats as shown by immunostaining for ki67 fig 2bc contrary after 15 days of sorafenib exposure rat hccs showed a much lower

vitroresults in hepg2 and snu449 cells in the invasive edge of vidatox treated hccs there are more cells that penetrate the nontumor liver tissue surrounding the hcc nodule fig 3b ________________________________________________________ my note when i keyed in vitatox on the web this article came up immediately after reading the above abstract i can understand their reasons for warning cancer patients to not be misled by this products claims over the past several weeks promotion of the newly licensed cuban anticancer medication vidatox has been evident the venom from the cuban scorpion rhopalurus junceus is the base for this supposed cancer treatment and the manufacturer has received permission from the chinese and albanian governments to distribute the remedy in those countries the treatment was previously only available in cuba but they are now seeking licensure and distribution opportunities abroad including we must assume canada and mexico due to the us embargo vidatox could not be imported into the us it remains however a dubious and dangerous treatment that is worth our skeptical attention and we must remind our governments and regulatory agencies that its sale should not be allowed there is research into the venom of r junceus and its components and it may indeed have antitumoral properties that deserve further research this paper available on the cuban digital library system infomed as well as pubmed describes the effects of the venom on molecular and cellular systems including mouse models there are other papers to be found on pubmed also describing the qualities of the scorpion venom but this interesting research becomes immediately irrelevant when we look closer at the vidatox product vidatox is a homeopathic preparation at the 30ch potency as such it defies the basic principles of chemistry and physics that we all know well we do not need to reiterate the poor reasoning of homeopaths here as homeopathy has been covered enough on this site for readers to understand its fantastical nature the chance of the presence of a single molecule of any of the 5 proteins said to be the active ingredients in the product is extremely low even more as this is an oral medication the chance of the proteins making it though the gut would be zero if they were even present a closer look however at the evidence put forward by the staterun laboratorios biolgicos farmacuticos or labiofam reveals information that is infuriatingly deceptive the evidence page on the marketing website for vidatox lists study after study about the undiluted testing of the venom of the r junceus species as well as related scorpians but makes no reference to direct testing of the vidatox product even more the only information resembling a study that i could find published is a phase iv trial protocol listed on the site of the international distributer of the product pharmamatrix this phase iv trial describes an openlabel meaning unblinded and uncontrolled postapproval test of the product a standard procedure for any regular drug approved by the fda or health canada the catch is of course that there is no record of a published phase i ii or iii trial of the drug and in fact no record of any testing of the product on pubmed google scholar or even on the cuban infomed server reply report abusejudge it mark conder australia 7 nov 6 2012 this is sadly not surprising from the manufacturer of a natural health product little mountain homeopathy the bane of canadian skeptics is promoting vidatox despite it is lack of approval from health canada for the treatment of cancer the study listed on that site without a reference was presented at a recent conference put on by the manufacturer to support the launch of the international registration of the product which had previously only been available in cuba and was the source for medical tourism to that country for treatment of cancer in this press release available on infomed several papers were presented to the chinese government when seeking approval but they appear to remain unpublished and in house information unavailable for scrutiny what is most disturbing is the claim that vidatox had already been tested on 10 000 patients in cuba including 3500 foreign patients who had travelled to cuba this is very troublesome language in the context of drug testing prior to any drug being approved for use therapeutically it must be shown to be efficacious in the case of vidatox as is the case for most altmed therapeutics it was decided that it should work and it was given experimentally to anyone who would pay for it as a standard treatment it is unethical for a physician to give an experimental treatment outside of an approved trial and it is doubtful that any institutional review board approved such treatment the trial of 174 patients listed on lmh website is unavailable online and appears to be completely unconnected to any peerreviewed journal it is far too credulous to accept this study as proof of efficacy directly from the company in the context of what is essentially a product launch and homeopaths espousing their scientific acumen should be vilified if they use this data to justify vidatoxs use to treat cancer or its symptoms what is even more incomprehensible is the use of such a preparation at all in the context of homeopathy which purports to individualize treatment for a patient and adhere to the law of similars labiofam used to produce the full concentration product as escozul which may have been shown in vitro studies to have cytotoxic effects see above with the law of similars this means that the homeopathic prep should be used to protect against cytotoxic effects not produce these antitumor effects like the mother tincture as well where are the homeopathic provings or triturations for vidatox and why is it appropriate to prescribe its use for everyones cancer given the supposed variability of a patients complete and holistic symptoms it is nothing short of hypocrisy to promote homeopathy as treating the patient not the disease and then turn to medicines that are marketed to treat a specific disease it belies the ideological backflips that homeopaths will go through to justify their system of medicine and shows their treatment decisions to be not only externally inconsistent but internally inconsistent as well vidatox labiofam and pharmamatrix have all ignored my email requests for the studies they purport to have to support the use of vidatox for cancer treatment labiofam is a large pharmaceutical company in cuba and produces mainstream medical products as well as nonmedical lifestyle cleaning and plasticbased products they must have scientists trained in biochemistry molecular biology medicine and other disciplines required to produce such products to promote what is at the 30ch or 1060 dilution a very cheap drug to manufacture and with inhouse experts who would be terrible scientists not to realize the unsupportable claims of this drug it is nothing short of fraud and should be treated as such

license information in line with the above observations in rats with hcc the treatment with vidatox for 30 days increased tumor growth significantly more than in control rats p001 fig 2a indeed hccs proliferation was higher in rats treated with vidatox than in control rats as shown by immunostaining for ki67 fig 2bc contrary after 15 days of sorafenib exposure rat hccs showed a much lower

vitroresults in hepg2 and snu449 cells in the invasive edge of vidatox treated hccs there are more cells that penetrate the nontumor liver tissue surrounding the hcc nodule fig 3b ________________________________________________________ my note when i keyed in vitatox on the web this article came up immediately after reading the above abstract i can understand their reasons for warning cancer patients to not be misled by this products claims over the past several weeks promotion of the newly licensed cuban anticancer medication vidatox has been evident the venom from the cuban scorpion rhopalurus junceus is the base for this supposed cancer treatment and the manufacturer has received permission from the chinese and albanian governments to distribute the remedy in those countries the treatment was previously only available in cuba but they are now seeking licensure and distribution opportunities abroad including we must assume canada and mexico due to the us embargo vidatox could not be imported into the us it remains however a dubious and dangerous treatment that is worth our skeptical attention and we must remind our governments and regulatory agencies that its sale should not be allowed there is research into the venom of r junceus and its components and it may indeed have antitumoral properties that deserve further research this paper available on the cuban digital library system infomed as well as pubmed describes the effects of the venom on molecular and cellular systems including mouse models there are other papers to be found on pubmed also describing the qualities of the scorpion venom but this interesting research becomes immediately irrelevant when we look closer at the vidatox product vidatox is a homeopathic preparation at the 30ch potency as such it defies the basic principles of chemistry and physics that we all know well we do not need to reiterate the poor reasoning of homeopaths here as homeopathy has been covered enough on this site for readers to understand its fantastical nature the chance of the presence of a single molecule of any of the 5 proteins said to be the active ingredients in the product is extremely low even more as this is an oral medication the chance of the proteins making it though the gut would be zero if they were even present a closer look however at the evidence put forward by the staterun laboratorios biolgicos farmacuticos or labiofam reveals information that is infuriatingly deceptive the evidence page on the marketing website for vidatox lists study after study about the undiluted testing of the venom of the r junceus species as well as related scorpians but makes no reference to direct testing of the vidatox product even more the only information resembling a study that i could find published is a phase iv trial protocol listed on the site of the international distributer of the product pharmamatrix this phase iv trial describes an openlabel meaning unblinded and uncontrolled postapproval test of the product a standard procedure for any regular drug approved by the fda or health canada the catch is of course that there is no record of a published phase i ii or iii trial of the drug and in fact no record of any testing of the product on pubmed google scholar or even on the cuban infomed server reply report abusejudge it mark conder australia 7 nov 6 2012 this is sadly not surprising from the manufacturer of a natural health product little mountain homeopathy the bane of canadian skeptics is promoting vidatox despite it is lack of approval from health canada for the treatment of cancer the study listed on that site without a reference was presented at a recent conference put on by the manufacturer to support the launch of the international registration of the product which had previously only been available in cuba and was the source for medical tourism to that country for treatment of cancer in this press release available on infomed several papers were presented to the chinese government when seeking approval but they appear to remain unpublished and in house information unavailable for scrutiny what is most disturbing is the claim that vidatox had already been tested on 10 000 patients in cuba including 3500 foreign patients who had travelled to cuba this is very troublesome language in the context of drug testing prior to any drug being approved for use therapeutically it must be shown to be efficacious in the case of vidatox as is the case for most altmed therapeutics it was decided that it should work and it was given experimentally to anyone who would pay for it as a standard treatment it is unethical for a physician to give an experimental treatment outside of an approved trial and it is doubtful that any institutional review board approved such treatment the trial of 174 patients listed on lmh website is unavailable online and appears to be completely unconnected to any peerreviewed journal it is far too credulous to accept this study as proof of efficacy directly from the company in the context of what is essentially a product launch and homeopaths espousing their scientific acumen should be vilified if they use this data to justify vidatoxs use to treat cancer or its symptoms what is even more incomprehensible is the use of such a preparation at all in the context of homeopathy which purports to individualize treatment for a patient and adhere to the law of similars labiofam used to produce the full concentration product as escozul which may have been shown in vitro studies to have cytotoxic effects see above with the law of similars this means that the homeopathic prep should be used to protect against cytotoxic effects not produce these antitumor effects like the mother tincture as well where are the homeopathic provings or triturations for vidatox and why is it appropriate to prescribe its use for everyones cancer given the supposed variability of a patients complete and holistic symptoms it is nothing short of hypocrisy to promote homeopathy as treating the patient not the disease and then turn to medicines that are marketed to treat a specific disease it belies the ideological backflips that homeopaths will go through to justify their system of medicine and shows their treatment decisions to be not only externally inconsistent but internally inconsistent as well vidatox labiofam and pharmamatrix have all ignored my email requests for the studies they purport to have to support the use of vidatox for cancer treatment labiofam is a large pharmaceutical company in cuba and produces mainstream medical products as well as nonmedical lifestyle cleaning and plasticbased products they must have scientists trained in biochemistry molecular biology medicine and other disciplines required to produce such products to promote what is at the 30ch or 1060 dilution a very cheap drug to manufacture and with inhouse experts who would be terrible scientists not to realize the unsupportable claims of this drug it is nothing short of fraud and should be treated as such

interesting vasco this is an interesting study from several aspects and im sure from your experience living in japan that you have greater insights into potential cultural and psychological factors that affect the course of treatment choices similar to the china study this study looks at a homogenous population so the results tends to be self discriminating in screening potential other factors affecting treatment choices such as socioeconomic class race access to health care and so forth as you may know in the united states one of the major influcences of treatment choices is whether or not it is covered by individual insurance companies or medicare several years ago medicare significantly reduced the amount of reimbursement doctors received for administering adt and not surprisingly the overall use of ht in the routine treatment of prostate cancer dropped significantly what this study does not address is the potential negative side effects of ht while many men have relatively minor side effects and rebound quickly after treatment is discontinued many others are permanently affected with a loss of sexual potency hot flashes growth of the breasts and even an increased risk for breast cancer among others also the study did not apparently address variances in ht protocols such as varying time on the drugs intermittent use and so forth although i have visited japan and other oriental countries frequently i would not consider myself knowledgable enough to speculate on the psychological make up of the group of japanese men who apparently followed their doctors orders and did not choose other therapies i dont know whether this is because of the stereotypical western view that the japanese tend to follow the directions of authority figures or whether this treatment is a nuance of the japanese health care system or even some other factor your background may provide a better perspective and i would be interested in what your thoughts are from my own personal point of view i am grateful for the wide variety of choices we have to treat prostate cancer in the united states although the plethora of choices is difficult for most laymen to sort out thoroughly enough to make truly informed decisons i studied the potential use of ht in conjunction with other treatment on the theory that since prostate cancer cells typically have a point of mitosis at 380 days give or take removing testosterone for say 18 month to 24 months improves the liklihood that another primary treatment such as surgery or radiation would be more effective although i still think that there is some merit to that course my doctors persuaded me that with my relatively low risk diagnosis psa 43 gleason 336 15 invovlement in one of 12 cores and staged at t1c with a normal dre and no history of pca that ht was unnecessary and potential benefits did not appreciably increase the efficacy of my primary course of treatment cyberknife radiation i believe that most urologists and cancer specialists do not consider ht to be curative it can certainly be pallative and most likely improves the efficacy of other treatments as studies have shown in the use of ht in conjunction with imrt for intermediate to advanced pca but it is not curative in other words in the absence of any other treatment discontinuing ht and allowing testosterone to once again feed pca cells the cancer will begin growing again best k

did you get a nuelasta shot the last 2 rounds of doxil i was given a nuelasta shot the next day the next 2 days each time i had those shooting pulses of pain up my spinal column that ended at the neck if i changed position or stood up it would stop it was most painful if i bent down to pick up something or when i was sitting on the toilet i was so sure the 1st time that it was the malignant paraaortic lymph node growing and pressing on my spine but after 2 days it went away both times and my oncologist said it was most likely the famous nuelasta bone pain although i never got any bone pain from nuepogen or the 1 round of nuelasta i had back in 2009 so i was wondering if it might be nuelasta if not someone on the uterine cancer board posted a similar symptom and it was a form of nueropathy that seems to flare up and go away as the chemo works through your system

checker i too suffer from intense neuropathy from chemo therapy drugs in my case the doctor states that it is as a result of the drug vinsblastin my doctor says that it could last upwards of 15 weeks or more or in some cases it can be permanent nerve damage your nerves are like a piece of electrical wiring that has the insulation around it and the drugs destroy the insulation or plastic coating around the wire if you get the analogy it takes time for the nerves to repair and rebuild the insulation around the wire some say that can be a lengthy process good diet is a must my doctor has me on major doses of vicodin i take three 500 mg tabs twice a day and it seems to mask the pain but then goes away i have taken as many as nine pills in one day just for relief i have the greatest discomfort in my ring finger and little finger on both hands and down the edge of my hand i have little or no control of the use of my little fingers typing this is very difficult to say the least and i am a good typist there is also another drug out there that can be taken for the neuropathy it is called neurontin not sure of the spelling believe me i have tried everything i know of i finished my chemo on june 2 2003 and have had the neuropathy since about the fourth set of injections i have tried accupuncture and deep tissue massage but to no major avail my balance is also greatly effected by the neuropathy i can stumble over the slightest thing on the floor even a throwrug i have difficulty wearing shoes that have any kind of sole on them because the edge of the leather sole tends to throw me off balance others i have talked to say that one may never be able to wear a pair of shoes with heels on them i wear mocassins all the time and now i am trying insoles with magnets and they seem to give me a little comfort i hope this helps other than that its just a waiting game too bad they dont know more about how to treat the side effects of the neuropathy before they inject all those poisonous drugs in your body have a good day and hope this helps

neuropathy a problem that sometimes occurs with chemotherapy treatment its not all that rare especially frequent in patients older than 65 years of age it is damage to the nerves it can occur from some chemotherapy drugs used in conventional cancer treatment there are three major goups of nerves in the human body the peripheral nerves that carry information to and from the limbs the nerves that supply the bowels and other internal organs and the nerves of the head which connect to the ears eyes taste buds etc nerves in any or all of these major groups can be affected by certain chemotherapy drugs nerves are vulnerable to many kinds of damage they can be damaged by certain cancers this may be caused by the cancer cells producing a particular kind of biological agent that interferes with the function of the nerves sometimes they can be damged by drugs used in chemotherapy treatment the chemotherapy drugs that most likely cause nerve damage are the vinca alkaloidsvincristine vindesine and vinblastine platinum drugscisplatinum carboplatinum and the taxanestaxol taxotere these drugs have the potential of interfering with nerve function you may notice symptoms in different areas of your body depending on which groups of nerves are affected symptoms in the hands and feet happen when peripheral nerve damage happens and are not rare with vinca alkaloids the first sign of nerve damage is usually a feeling of tingling and numbness like what you experience when your foot goes to sleep after youve been sitting for a long time in an uncomfortable position if the problem progresses further it often produces weakness of the muscles resulting in loss of strength at the wrist or the ankle you will notice difficulty in doing up buttons and picking up coins you may notice that you will tend to trip while walking up stairs or dragging your feet and tend to have a widebased gait in severe cases the weakness may be so severe that you will need a wheelchair when the nerves in the bowel are affected constipation is the earliest sign in a few people the abdomen becomes bloated with a distended bowel that is basically paralyzed some of the nerves in the head can also be affected platinum drugs can affect the auditory nerve and cause loss of hearing and tinnitusringing in the ears vision can very occasionally be affected a lot depends on how quickly your cancer treatment can be stopped sometimes the need for treatment is more urgent then the residual nerve damage sometimes the balance between benefit from the drug and the side effect of nerve damage is more finely balanced once treatment has been stopped recovery is usually slow it may take months to get even partial improvement and often there will be some residual impairment either a motor weakness or a sensory numbness or both recovery is slower in the feet and legs than in the hands and arms there is no specific treatment that enhances nerve recovery there are no drugs that will directly stimulate nerve regeneration or recovery if you have severe and prolonged pain then the pain may require narcotics often combined with antidepressants in some cases certain types of anticonvulsants would be helpful treatment options are subjects that you should discuss with your doctor so you have accurate expectations of potential benefits and side effects
