hi everyone,
my husband finished treatment in sept. 03 and is currently in remission. he is wondering if anyone experienced or is experiencing what he calls sleepy hands and feet? he says it feels like lack of circulation - not numb - but not normal. his hands and feet are not cold and they look the same.
thanks.
wendy

Wendy, I do not remember if your husband had chemo. If so, that is a side effect. My toes were pretty strange feeling, not exactly numb either, but a couple of months post treatment I suddenly realized that they felt normal again. It may have been a bit longer, come to think of it. In any event, this may be just one more instance where time will heal. I recommend asking the doctor about this, as he may be able to give you more concrete information.
