7th character for chemotherapy induced polyneuropathy

Hello fellow coders

Every time I think I've got the whole 7th character thing down...I start second guessing myself and get confused.

When coding chemotherapy induced polyneuropathy, I know I would use the codes G62.0 and T45.1x5*.

Should the 7th character be an S?
my thinking is that the neuropathy is an effect/sequelae of the chemotherapy.
is this correct?

or would the 7th character be an A or D, depending on the stage of treatment of the neuropathy?

thanks in advance.
