Does anyone else have tingling hands and feet 3 months after finishing chemo?

The tingling was only very slight whilst on treatment 

  • Yes  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?

  • I finished unsuccessful chemo on 21 August and my feet are definitely getting worse with the tingling going partly up my shins. My fingers aren’t too bad though

  • Has anyone found anything that helps?
