As the article says above, "These chemotherapy drugs are notorious for causing long-lasting pain or tingling in your hands, feet or legs." I am currently undergoing chemo and I have neuropathy in my hands. It darkens the color of my palms, causes numbness, and makes it hard to grasp objects, especially small ones like screws and paperclips.
That sounds brutal. Sorry to hear that. Are you going to try the cryotherapy?
I’ve got what I think is neuropathy in my feet and have had it for a long time. I’m going to see the doc this week to see what’s going on.
I am sorry for your cancer and chemo. My wife was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and had her first chemo treatment 2 weeks ago. So far, minimal side effects.
This article is quite timely.
Best of luck with your treatments and full cure!!
Tell your doc about that immediately if you haven’t. I have irreversible neuropathy in my feet now, and a little NEUROPATHY in the hands- the hands were worse, but they did clear up a little bit-butmthe feet didn’t. I can stub my toe now and not feel pain like I used to- I can feel that something g happened of ccourse, but not the pain. In one hand I had a nerve severed due to operation on tumors, and the hand on the top is numb and I’ve burnt it several times and didn’t know it reaching into oven to take out a roast or steaks.
Not fun. But do tell the doc. They may want to reduce the chemo or something, maybe a. Drug change or something. Not,sure what they. An do for it. Are ou taking alpha lipoic acid while doing the chemo? Supposed to help I guess slow the progression. Gotta be a certain type r-alpha or something like that.
