I have had 6 cycles of FOLFOX for colorectal cancer this year,which I completed in late April.I was pleased to get an all clear from my Oncologist.During my treatment I experienced numbness,tingling, jangling sensations in my fingers each cycle for several days especially in very cold situations.Then when treatment finished I was back to normal in my hands.Now however almost 3 months later my feet and my hands are affected by numbness,tingling,mild electric shock feelings etc...I did not expect to be experiencing these side effects weeks after the end of my treatment.Has anybody else been affected in a similar way and if so how have you coped with it.I believe its called Peripheral Neuropathy and may not get better which is quite depressing..
Hi Reta….. never ever feel anything other than determination to navigate ‘your’ journey….. we all have to walk the walk that is before us and do it as best as we can…… always around to chat ((hugs))
