I was diagnosed with stage 4 non small cell lung cancer 1/13/16. I had 10 sessions of radiation for cancer in my hips and 6 sessions of taxol/carbo. The hips are healing and the pain is minimal. CT scan showed the tumor on my lung and the tumor on my sternum had both shrunk. My oncologist was very happy with the progress.
I just had my 4th infusion of Opdivo. After the next session, I will have my 1st CT scan since starting the Opdivo.
No side effects from the Opdivo, but after my last treatment of the platinum base, I have developed peripheral neuropathy in my feet and taking gabapentin.
I have two questions:
Anybody else on Opdivo and if you are, how is it going?
Is there any other relief/cure for peripheral neuopathy besides gabapentin? -

Thank you Tom for your reply. I will give the wool socks a try. I am hopeful for a great (clear) scan. I live to battle on!
