Question for Dr. Furman II

[Guest guest]

,

I hope this gets through. A few hours ago I tried to reply to your notice about Dr Furman by posting a message using "REPLY (via web post)". In the subject line I listed the problem I'm having along with Dr Furman's name , hit Send and never saw it again. Having problems with is nothing new with me. BTW, I was asked to log in, which I did, but here I sit. Anyway, I'll try again by simply Replying to your message via OE.

My problem, and question, stems from my large lymph nodes for which my local hem/onc has prescribed R-CVP. I'm concerned about the potential for neuropathy from use of Vincristine and would like to know if there is anything one can do to reduce that potential and whether there are any early warning signs for developing neuropathy.

Dr. Furman

Folks - Dr. Furman is now officially on our group, as our medical adviser.

He can be contacted via the group, like they do with Dr. Hamblin on the ACOR list.

Unless necessary, I ask that you not contact him directly, but post your questions on the group, so that we can all benefit from the question and his answer.
