Hi idris thanks for writing to us I am very sorry to hear his condition for patients who develop more severe chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (cipn) during active treatment, subsequent treatment delay or dose reduction can improve symptoms in some cases, notably with taxanes and�bortezomib. For patients with an abnormal gait and/or mobility deficits,�referral for rehabilitation and targeted therapeutic exercise can enhance postural control and balance, essential elements in preventing fallsif pharmacologic modalities fail, amelioration of neuropathic pain from cipn may be achieved through use of complementary, rehabilitative, and integrative methods as well as physical modalities such as cutaneous electrical stimulation. Please discuss the above options so that we can help you maximum with the treatment related complications.
