Chemo-Induced Neuropathy

Hi,
My name is Patty and I'm a nurse working with the Neuropathy Team. The reason I'm writing it to make you aware of a neuropathy study I am leading that is geared toward colon cancer patients who are experiencing neuropathy. This study is focused on the use of vitamins, minerals and antioxdents that play a part in keeping the nervous system healthy.

I am looking for patients who have residual neuropathy caused by one of the following:

Taxol
Taxotene
Cisplatin
Oxaliplatinum

The patient must also be finished with chemo.

There is no cost to the patient; all study supplements and follow up phone calls are free of charge. Time investment by the patient is less than 10 minutes for each of the three months on the study.

If you are interested, please contact me at pattywrites@hotmail.com or on my message board.

Thanks,
Nurse Patty
