Hi @KylieG
Peripheral Neuropathy is an often permanent side effect more common with Taxane chemotherapies.
You can see from this post that quite a few people on the forums suffer with it after going through that regime:
https://onlinenetwork.bcna.org.au/discussion/18792/peripheral-neuropathy/p1Anecdotal evidence seems to show that icing your hands and feet during the chemotherapy sessions can help you avoid the long term effects. While doctors and hospitals don't always tell you about it if you read the overseas forums it is very common in the UK and US, led by patients themselves.
I know for me that despite the discomfort of cold therapy for every Paclitaxel session it meant I managed to come out the other side without long term damage. So I like to try and share the information with others going through the same. I think one day it will be standard for everyone.
And I agree with everyone, Chemo is very doable. Exercise is key!
