Does anyone else have tingling hands and feet 3 months after finishing chemo?
The tingling was only very slight whilst on treatment
Yes Merth I wasn’t given my last session as I admitted that my feet were a bit tingly, the nurse said they looked red and that was it. They got worse after stopping and I wish I’d spoken up sooner as they still feel funny 7 years later. Mine feel more like bad sunburn - the skin feels tight and they feel hot although not to touch. It’s more annoying than anything else.
A lot of people find that it improves over time and I found reflexology to be a nice treat. You may find this post helpful?
