He has 2 tumors under right arm, one in stomach and some on lungs. He is in a clinical trial and is having a bad side effect.The doctor is not saying much. His hands are numb and his legs are weak, and he is in a walker. He might have to go off the trial and then we are back to square one. If anyone has experienced this side affect, please help me.

His legs and hands seem to be getting worse every day, and the doctor does not seem to know what to do. I am at a lose. He has not had chemo for 4 weeks know and time is so important. Let me know if you can help. Take Care Cory Corypj Tue, 07 Mar 2006 00:00:00 GMT Have you read the side effects for all the different chemo your father was taking. One side effect of a lot the chemo's is NEUROPATHY which cause tingling sensations in the hands and feet and becomes very sore could this be it, if so surprised the doctor did not state this.
