Hi all

I finished chemotherapy and radiotherapy about 6months ago (had cervical cancer and lymphoma)and got an all clear. However, I have developed peripheral neuropathy in my hands, it's very painful and I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this, and maybe give advice on how best to alleviate the pain?

Hi Linda (Vanderstadt

Sorry, I don’t have any experience to share as I didn’t have this, but I hope someone else might be able to help with some advice.

I always try my best if I have the right experience and I feel sorry when someone hasn’t had a reply. Apart from this nasty neuropathy I hope you’re feeling good and able to get on with life? You’ve had a huge amount to deal with.

Hi Linda

i don't have experience of this but, if you haven't already found it, the Macmillan website has some information about peripheral neuropathy which might be helpful?

I was diagnosed with stage 2A squamous cell cervical cancer (node negative) in 2017 following symptoms: persistent, watery, yellow vaginal discharge then post-menopuasal bleeding. My treatment was a radical hysterectomy followed by chemo-radiotherapy. My long term side effects include lymphoedema and urinary retention which I manage with intermittent self catheterisation.
