had chemo/radiation 2013 for anal cancer; 6 years later, struck with incontinence and not feeling my toes, ataxia, weak hands. Nothing worked. Just had neurologist, last week, confirm that I had progressive chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). He prescribed Cymbalta 30mg....and it has worked to eliminate 5 trips to bathrm at night, I can feel my toes, and I reduced size of pads from a Poise 5 to a Poise 3......

I wanted to share this find with this community in case you have not explored this option.....thanks for listening,

Hi. I'm pleased you found something to help you. I wonder if this drug is available in the UK?

yes, check your laptop and google Cymbalta. Has resolved my urinary incontinence almost completely. No more leaking, no more running for my life, no more getting up 5 x per night.
