Seven months since ending Folfox and my oxaliplatin induced neuropathy isn’t getting better.
- Neuropathy could be permanent
- Others had it dissipate at 18 months or so
- Vitamin B, lyrica, Gabapentin, and supplements as helpful, and other coping mechanisms such as hand warmers, socks and specific types of shoes
- Reflections/questions:
- How can alternative medicine and other types of alternative healing help cancer survivors?
- There should be more structured post-chemo care for survivors and more long-term follow up, as many people have permanent body disfigurements, disabilities, and other changes
