My dad is currently undergoing his third cycle of chemo for bowel cancer.
He is got really bad neuropathy in his hands and feet and has recently started walking with a stick because he keeps falling over; he sprained his ankle without realising.
Does anybody have an advice on things he could do? Anything that has been successful for you or your family?
Thanks so much
Hello, I have peripheral neuropathy caused by treatment, I kept falling over, couldn't keep my balance and had to hold onto people. My future wasn't looking bright. A Neurologist I saw about my condition, this was my 3rd opinion because I refused to believe I would not get better, suggested I try physiotherapy and I'm so pleased I did because with the exercises they gave me I can now walk unaided and it's like I never had any issues.
