I have been on chemotherapy for several months, including Vincristine, Adriamycin, Cytoxin and Retuxin. About a week after my fifth of the six rounds I have been administered I woke one morning with severe problems speaking. Today I was diagnosed with paralysis of my left volcal chord. Since one of the side effects of Vincristine is peripheral neuropathy, which I have experienced, is it possible that this condition is a previously unknown side effect?

I had to be taken off of this med, because my feet were freezing, and then they would be hot to the touch. that was 11 yrs ago and they are still that way.They hurt and are numb at times.
