Hi. I know this is probably a strange question but I wondered if anyone had peripheral neuropathy before their cancer was diagnosed?
I am 3 years post surgery and had a right hemicolectomy.
Before I was diagnosed ,during COVID, I developed neuropathy in my feet
It started after a long walk, just instantly. I kept speaking to a GP about it and after 4 months, I finally got a blood test which showed aneamia. The rest is history.
I had nerve conduction test for the neurology after my surgery but there was no large nerve damage. My GP said it was 'pribably' small fibre nerve damage and I was sent on my way with Gabapentin which I still take if it's unbearable.
I just wondered if it is possible that the cancer caused the neurology. I have never had chemotherapy.
It's getting worse and my GP isn't interested.
Sorry for the long story!
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
