Peripheral Neuropathies

[Hilary Bates]

http://www.amgen.com will take you to Amgen's home page, and there you 
will find information about clinical trials in progress for neurotrophic 
factors for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy.

If you have trouble accessing the web page, try calling 1-800-77-AMGEN, 
or 805-447-1000 for information.

Good luck - and keep up the good work of recovery!
