My hematologist called this Sensory/Peripheral Neurapothy. He said it is a form of nerve damage associated with the chemo treatment (Cisplatin) and also caused by tumors, diabetes, and other issues. I've noticed over the past couple of years it seems to be more prevalent with stress or fatigue and seems to shift in areas on me. Sometimes in my hands/feet, when I'm walking or active I feel it in my thighs, and lately I've had bouts with it in my neck and face. My Dr.'s have said that the treatments are sometimes harder on your system than living with the symptoms. I'm ok with the symptoms (At least for now)! I'm breathing!! LOL... Seriously, best wishes to everyone who has to endure the side effects to whatever degree.
