I've heard of chemo brain, but does anyone else keep tripping up in the week after chemotherapy/immunotherapy?
I usually have brilliant balance (go running twice a week) no mobility problems but lately I seem to trip over my own shadow. My knees are starting to look a bit bruised plus it's embarrassing.
Is this normal?
I've had tingling in my fingers but not my feet.
Hi Harebellle
I haven't had this problem with the chemotherapy I'm on, but I know they all have different side effects.
I hope you don't mind me suggesting that you also post this question in the lung cancer group as you'll then connect directly with others who are on the same type of chemotherapy as you.
Have you spoken to your CNS about this tripping?
Wishing you all the best

Thanks latchbrook.
I've posted it on the other forum.
Ps What's a CNS?
Sorry, CNS stands for cancer nurse specialist sometimes also known as your keyworker.
