Neuropathic Pain Therapy-

I am listing neuropathic pain therapies that are non-conventional below because there are few, if any, effective conventional neuropathic pain therapies. I am a long-term survivor of cancer. CIPN is one

Radiation-induced Nerve Damage

I believe that radiation-induced nerve damage occurs more often than oncology has reported. I say this because radiation-induced nerve damage, of any kind, is a late stage side effect. As such, the cancer

Myeloma Chemotherapy – Antioxidants Enhance Action

Much debate has focused on whether antioxidants interfere with the efficacy of cancer chemotherapy. The objective of this study is to systematically review the randomized, controlled clinical trial evidence

Chemotherapy-Induced Neurotoxicity

“The prevalence of chemotherapy-induced neurotoxicity (CIN) varies from 19% to more than 85%, with the highest reported for platinum compounds (70–100%) and taxanes (11–87%) ). However, most

Neuropathic Pain Therapies

Neuropathic pain caused by chemotherapy is not well studied and poorly controlled by conventional oncology.  My definition of this sometimes short and/or long-term side effect  is simply the tingling,
