Toddr34: First thing to do is see a Chiropractor. Nutritional supplements that will help are GABA 1grm before retiring. 1grm NAC daily will improve detox. Selenium/Vit-E/CoQ10 will improve detox and energy. Whole body hot bath w/ 1/4 cup Epsom Salts & 1/4 cup Baking Soda will help eliminate poisons also. Fish, Krill, or Flax Oil will improve integrity and regrowth of nerve tissue (as will the GABA). Be sure to eat adequate high quality protein. Canned Sardines has quality protein, Essential Fatty Acids, and DNA/RNA. A high quality Multivitamin/Mineral w/ super foods will help. Solaray has a very good Women's Multiglandular that will help in healing and restoration. Raw Liver Tablets are a great superfood. All these suggestions will help clean, strengthen, and rebuild the body as well as nerves. Toxic cancer treatments are very catabolic (leaving the body sick & weak). These suggestion will increase the anabolic potential of healing & rebuilding.

The B vitamins support the nerves, especially B12. "Could it be B12?" is a book discussing how nerve damage can come from a simple vitamin deficiency. She can supplement with liver and brewers yeast for the b vitamins at low cost.
Also look into the book "Drug Muggers" to find out what vitamins and minerals were depleted by the particular chemo drugs so you get an idea as to what may need to be replaced.
High dose vitamin C may help with the pain. I think it was Dr. Hoffer who used gram dosages of vitamin c to relieve pain in a cancer patient. You can get the powder on Amazon.
