Raynaud's Syndrome and cisplatin

Yes I did for the first winter , now it’s just slightly annoying when it’s cold I wore gloves most of yesterday as we had seriously low temperatures. I too had cisplatin  but in normal winters days I’m ok. Toes were very cold yesterday as well normally they are not too bad.

Hazel, can I ask what is white finger syndrome ? This is strange timing to say the least , last few days the tips of my fingers been tingling like I had just scraped snow away ? I too had cisplaten chemo , 

There’s something  called raynauds I don’t have tgst my fingers don't go white they are just very cold  especially ehrn weathers as cold as it has been. Is it cisplatin or just age  who  knows    My first winter after treatment I was very cold fingers snd toes . The joys   Msybe moving snow it would have happened anyway   Yoh can ask your gp if you’ve raynauds like I said I don’t get white fingers.

Just googled it , I defo don’t have it. Thanks for you answer, as you say old age rather than treatment is the cause of many life problems

Bless you Brian. I’m 67 next.  We do forget we are getting older so will still get other things. Not everythjng is cancer related. Our nephews 41 he wears gloves in summer he’s certainly got white finger. hugs Hazel 

Do your fingers tingle at any other time? 

Just recently in the cold weather, just the tips , only a couple fingers on one hand 

Just one of those things I guess

Hi Hazel

I would be one of those wearing gloves too although I don't have white finger. I'm not surprised that you and others have cold hands and feet with the temps you have been having. I am one of those that feels the cold dreadfully and it has definitely got worse as I get older. I was recently in Tasmania for a holiday and I put my thermals on when it was 19 degrees. I know I would not survive in England I'm too soft.
