What an amazing and inspiring story Dana! I now understand your love and admiration for this incredible doctor/human who was taken way too soon from this most insidious disease we share.

PS From a voracious reader, you are a fantastic writer :)

Thank you for sharing this story and reminding us that help can come from surprising places! I wonder if this helps neuropathy when using other chemo drugs?

How blessed you were to have the guidance of such a special human. I met Neil once in person and we communicated about my son’s severe Lyme+ case as well as my Dad’s cancer. He was so generous with his time and knowledge. His early departure due to chronic Lyme has left such a hole in the community and to anyone who knew him.

It can help also with the chemo drug carboplatin. I'm not sure what else. Yes, so fortunate to have known Neil and miss him terribly. Can only imagine how he infuriated he would've been about the mishandling of Covid.
