I was told early on that PN can continue to develop after treatment finishes, so I was a bit prepared. In my case it did start to improve after I finished Taxol, but it’s not automatic. As I had Taxol after A/C, that meant that the improvement started as chemo was over - as you are still having treatment, it may continue to have an effect on the PN. First of all, check with your oncologist. As far as I am aware, ice treatment may not help much once the effects of PN are being felt. I was told to try vitamin B. I think it did help me but it’s variable. Belatedly I found that hot wax pedicures made my feet feel much better (temporary but nice anyway) and massage may have helped a little bit. But get your oncologist to take notice - chances are you’ll recover after chemo
is finished but PN can linger and you’d want to avoid that if you can. Best wishes.
