Pins and needles in feet and hands causing pain.

Hello Stayclose,

I've had two different types of chemo, one being for lung cancer post surgery several years ago. On each occasion I suffered feelings like these in my hands and feet during and after treatment. In my case it was caused by peripheral neuropathy which is a common side effect and I was prescribed medication by my chemo unit to minimise its effects.

However, to be absolutely sure you should report it to your wife's treatment team as soon as possible - she should have been given contact details for the chemo unit to report any issues arising during treatment - so action can be taken to deal with these.

I hope she can get it sorted quickly.

My best wishes, Derek.
