Neuralgia.....numbness hands & feet
Hi all. Just wondering what others have done about the numbness of hands/feet due to Taxol treatments please ? I have just had Round 9/12 treatments and the past week & a half I have been experienci...
Vitamin B was suggested to me at about the same stage of the taxol round and nothing got any worse. Might have been coincidence! Ice water is also recommended but I think that's prior to any impact not after. Neuropathy can be a real worry. I almost packed in taxol at the 10th dose but finding a lump under my right arm sharpened my focus! It was benign and unrelated but I wasn't about to take chances and finished my 12 doses. Neuropathy can take time to clear - I had a bad case and still have funny feet 5 years on. Doesn't stop me doing much, no pain and it's still improving even if the speed is glacial! Sometimes all you can do is take a deep breath and commit to the long haul. For what it's worth I am 5 years on and NED. Best wishes.
