Hi, Thalia,

My husband is now about 6 months post-treatment and has had quite a few side effects including neuropathy. At first he couldn't feel his toes and he tripped easily (balance) and he was cold all the time. He is is much better now but I have heard that cisplatin causes this in some people (and another one of the chemos he had in induction chemo). What we did that might be helpful is we had our MO write scripts for physical and occupational therapy (the latter may be the most helpful for this). My husband ended up having fewer sessions than they expected and it really helped. I don't know if he learned to develop new strategies and adapt (for example, he couldn't button his shirts and now he can) or if he actually got a lot better but he is better. I was most concerned with his balance as that can affect exercise and as a result cause more balance problems and can lead to falls/tripping. Now he is back going to to the gym and I believe his physical and occupational therapy helped build him up to resume these activities.
