Anyone had TC chemo?
Hi, I am likely going to start chemo possibly next week. It’s will be TC for three months. I am very worried about it of course. I would like very much to reduce my risk of peripheral neuropathy and ...
I didn't do TC but peripheral neuropathy was a risk for my chemo too.
I would recommend using ice gloves and booties. They were provided by the hospital where I went last year.
I used them when I felt a hint of neuropathy and stopped using them when symptoms had consistently gone away. I'd recommend using them throughout as it was my experience (and a few friends too) that the peripheral neuropathy showed up more strongly after finishing chemo so perhaps if I had persevered with icing throughout this would have been minimised. It can be hard to keep the ice gloves and booties on so don't beat yourself up if you don't use them!
Thank you I appreciate your help. 🙂
Having had neuropathy start quickly my GP suggested a B12 injection which my oncology department gave to me which helped. Also would tell my acupuncturist and he worked on areas also x
