Hi Nikki,
No I can't say that I have. Just did a google search and found quite a few sites. www.Lyrica.com was one of them. Looks like this drug targets 1.)painful diabetic neuropathy and 2.)postherpetic neuralgia, reportedly the two most common neuropathic pain conditions.
Found out that postherpetic neuralgia is pain that persists after shingles. So looks like this drug would help with the pain. Couldn't find anything about curing it.
I know that my pain has subsided once I began massaging my feet and taking L-Glutamine. I started slowly and gently at first with the massaging. It is recommended that you take 10grams of L-Glutamine a day (I only take 2grams as I am fighting off Hepatitus so I don't want to stress the liver too much).
Since starting massages and the L-Glutamine, I type all day long and at night too. The numbness is still there but I can do things without feeling the pain that I felt when I first finished up my treatments. (I just got back from a convention in Las Vegas where I walked 6-8 miles everyday for 4 days. Feet are numb but I was able to go the distance). Thank God! I feel pretty blessed. I agree with Ron, that if the cancer stays away I will gladly put up with the numbness.
As far as my treatment, I received care from a Dr. in Lakewood, Colorado. I just read the policies for this site, and I don't think that I can post his name (they removed an email address that I posted earlier. This does make sense as far a identity protection).
So I would say this. . .
Look up the top 10 Cancer treatment Dr's for Colorado, he's in there. And I have a friend that has gone through two rounds of colen cancer who has received great care from another Dr. that is also in the top 10. My Doc has his own building and does all of the treatments from there. I do know that Lutheren in Wheat Ridge also has a care center on the 6th floor.
I wish you and your husband the best and remember to make this day count, because thats all that we can really count on.
God Bless
LeRoy
