Hi, Did anyone have neuropathy as a result of the cisplatin? That was mentioned to us as a side effect that may or may not be permanent. There are vitamins that are supposed to be helpful for this condition, the B complex etc., but I'm under the impression that the doctors don't want you to take extra or any antioxidants.
From some of the research I've read, there is a debate about whether or not the antioxidants hurt or help during chemo. Richard's MO said that a regular multi vitamin would be ok and there should be enough nutrition in the liquids for the PEG tube. We just want to do everything we can to help his body get through this ordeal. After the treatments are over, he will be able to take whatever he can manage during recuperation. Did anyone continue with a vitamin regime, liquid or pills, during the treatment? Thanks for any feedback.. Geri
