HI Rosemary.
The bone pain and the foot drop could well be symptoms of the Vincristine
itself--the "slapping" foot drop is one of its symptoms according to Marsh.
Best to you Rosemary,

P. Sankaran
While suggesting remedies such as Radium brom., Stront. carb., X - ray,
Uran. nit. etc. for the ill - effects of nuclear radiation. Bellokkossy says
that nosodes such as Tuberculinum, Influenzinum Psorinum, Pneumococcin etc.
enhance the effects of these remedies.
===
Food (immediate post-exposure):--Miso soup (fresh miso used) for three days
after the radiation exposure (X-ray, radiotherapy) (reference--hospital
experience from Japan after nuclear bomb blast 1945).
===
Other--Iodine 131 from nuclear plant or bomb fallout--Potassium iodide taken
internally to load thyroid with iodine so as to promote excretion of
radioactive specie.
