Good Morning
My son christopher as a rare brain tumor (rhabdoid). He had surgery last
July to remove it. They only got half . He's had radiation on head and spine. He's on  baby pog chemo  
The drugs are:
Vincristine
Carboplatinum
Cyclophosphamide
Etoposide
G-CSF for bone marrow
He also takes Phenobarbital and Gabapentin for seizures
My question is he's starting to have alot of problems walking
Do these drugs cause nerve damage and will it get better after the chemo is done.
My son also lost most of his eye sight after surgery The tumor is wrapped around the optic nerve  but his eye's were ok before surgery
how could this happen?
Christopher is 4yrs old
Thank you
We're from Toronto Canada
Is there any New Treatments for brain tumors
