Hello I developed severe peripheral neuropathy from chemotherapy for breast cancer last year. I was advised to stop treatment which was tough.Following chemotherapy  I had a year of Herceptin which finished in April. I still have PN and have recently started having severe tingling in my scalp. I don’t know if this could be PN. Does anyone else have this problem. My scalp has become very tender rather like when the hair falls out with chemo. 

I would be very grateful to hear from anyone else who has had similar problems. 
many thanks 

  • Hi there, I haven't experienced this myself but I did notice your post hasn't had any replies yet, so I wanted to acknowledge it.  I also wondered if you've considered giving the lovely folks at Macmillan a call. They are available on 0800 808 0000 and are a great resource to answer questions and chat things through. Best wishes
