Finger prints

Hi,

I noticed my finger print didn't scan to unlock my phone whilst on chemo. I suffered with peripheral neuropathy in my hands and feet. All my nails lifted and came off and skin on some fingers peeled off slightly, ends of fingers numb, not affected toe nails but balls of feet hurt. I'm nearly 9 weeks post chemo and the numbness is still there but not as bad. My finger print on scan has started to work better now, still hit and miss but improving, i just put it down to nerve damage with the neuropathy. With the drugs that are pumped into our bodies to destroy the cancer it also damages and affects other things.  Give it time it should improve once you finish treatment. Hope it goes well on treatment xx

Thanks satire I know it's 1st world problem but that set my mind at rest that it's not just me being weird sorry to hear you have such bad neuropathy and hope it soon sorts itself 

Goodness, I have just discovered this myself. I thought I was imagining it but just yesterday I really examined my (very painful) fingertips and think they appear to be blank and shiny! Good time to rob a bank somewhere without gloves.
