Hello
I'm looking for some advice please. I had my first chemo session on Wednesday (15th December 2021) with single agent Carboplatin (and that is the only chemo drug I will require). This is the first of six cycles of this drug that I will receive. This was given to me at approx 10.30-11.30am on Wednesday and by 7pm I had a tingling and a warm feeling in my feet and then a couple of hours later a tingling sensation in my hands but that only lasted half an hour. The tingling in my feet lasted longer.
I believe this is a common side effect of the chemo (Carboplatin) that I am on. The tingling has gone but I will raise it when I next go back to the hospital for my second treatment and with my consultant who is due to phone me the day before my second treatment.
This sensation had gone by 10.30pm on the Wednesday evening however I would be very grateful to hear from anybody who has had experience of this and what they have been advised. I'm not in any pain from it and it was for a relatively short period of time however what I don't want is to be left with some long term side effects if there is something I can do now to mitigate that risk.
Thank you for any guidance on this.
