Hi Springat Last
i got Peripheral Neuropathy after about my fifth treatment. It didn’t get any worse for me after I had lumpectomy and lymph node clearance. Keep going out for your short walks and keep doing the exercises for you arm. Be kind to yourself and rest when you need to.
Best of luck with your results on the 3rd of June.
Best wishes
Daisy
