over 7 years agoDrug or Chemo Therapy
Dad had 6 months of various chemo drugs, it took a full day on iv, sitting in the hospital . He experienced awful side effects, the worst of them is that he can no longer walk safely. neuropathy in both legs. if you are on chamo and you start to get numbness, see your doctor immediately, you might need to change drugs!
