Vincristine

 I was diagnosed with T-cell ALL in February 06 & am 5 months into maintenance treatment.

My Doctor has stopped my monthly dose of 1mg vincristine because of the damage it has done to the nerve endings in my feet. He said that I could end up in a wheel chair if I continue on with this drug!

Has anyone else had a similar problem? Do the feelings return to the feet over time?

Hi,

My wife, Susan, had ALL diagnosed in June 2002 and went through most of the treatment.  She had the same numbnes, it is called Peripheral Neuoropathy (excuse spelling) and still experiences proble,s.  She was told that she will have it the rest of her life.  But after all other problems she experienced she is willing to live with this one.

Take care
