Hi all.
Currently on my 2nd week of capox chemotherapy after 6 weeks of combined chemo/radiotherapy.
I was warned and prepared for the strange over sensitivity to cold and tingly finger tips but I've now realised that I have no fingerprints. Tips of my fingers are completely smooth!
Although this may come in handy if I decide on a life of petty crime, it is a bit concerning. Has anyone else had this odd side effect and if so, will my prints ever return?
Yes, I had this following Capecitabine Tabs. 2 years ago. They did return - but I had to do my fingerprint on my phone again - so presumably they are new prints?!
I had capox 2 yrs ago and lost mine.even now I sometimes find it hard to make contact on phones,tablets etc
It has been mentioned on other threads that we should get together for a bank heist
all the best
At the end of the day if thats all we get left with as a lasting side effect its not too bad
