I had surgery for breast cancer three years ago, followed by one cycle of chemotherapy, to which I had a very adverse reaction and never had any more. Over the past few months, I've had a burning pain in the soles of my feet, especially at night. GP has suggested this might be an effect of the chemo and also that the pain may be irreversible. Anyone else experienced this? Sometimes the pain is so severe it wakes me up.
