Hi,

I have been on chemo forever, it seems, several different kinds, it sucks but I am going to keep going as long as I can. The neuropathy is a real pain but I found that taking B6, I do 500mg, lessened it to the point that it is almost gone. The problem is everyone reacts differently to the chemo's. A/C was my first and frankly by the 4th round I thought I would be better off taking my chances without. But we changed things up and I feel better, I am weak but that is about the worst of it.

Oh BTW you have to give the B6 a some time to work, a few weeks at least.
