Can chemo (carboplatin / taxol) to Tarlov cyst symptoms worsen? It was discovered ten years ago that I have 3 Tarlov cysts. Last year I was diagnosed with lung cancer and had chemo with taxol and carboplatin. I had a reaction to the first infusion Taxol, extreme pain, especially in the area of my TC. I still have pain in my legs every day and it has been over a year since I finished chemo. I wonder if the chemo damaged nerve endings in the TC.
I do not know what a TC, but I know the side effects of Taxol nerve can take several years to resolve and there may be a permanent neuropathy.
