I finished chemo (6 months course) end of January and started to suffer with PN the last 3 to 4 sessions so the dose was reduced for the last 3. I have completed 6 weeks of radiotherapy (25 sessions) and the PN is no better. My oncologist put me on neuropentin (3 times a day) which I will take for approx 6 weeks until I see her again to report in. I also have some tingling in my finger tips (very irritating as I play the ukulele!). I have dropped a few things and am taking care with my walking and particularly up and down stairs at home. My sister has been giving me some reflexology treatments as we can't have those outside of our homes at the moment. I think keeping feet warm is beneficial (I sleep with my electric blanket on before I hop into bed to keep my legs,feet and back warm. Occasionally the PN seems less bothersome so I am hopeful it will improve over time.
