My fingertips and toes started to feel a little numb and tingly 4 months after treatment. Now nearly eight months post treatment I still have it. I have gotten used to it for the most part. From what I've read Cisplatin is the reason because of all the platinum that's in it. My MO gave me a Rx if the pain gets worse but haven't found the need. He also suggested taking a multi B vitamin.
