Finished my second bout of chemo at the end of June after 18 weeks.Got through it - just.Had all the predicted side effects and was hospitalised 3 times for various reasons,but I'm still here.
Towards the end of my chemo my peripheral neuropathy began to appear.The soles of my feet started to become numb and gradually I noticed a lack of sensation in my fingertips.This has slowly developed and now I have poor sensation and general lack of any strength in my fingers and hands in addition to general numbness in my feet.
The act of standing up from a seated position is a little difficult and I wonder if this is muscular or more nerve damage.
Just wondered if anyone has any insight into whether these side-effects are 'generally' temporary,will develop further or become permanent.
