Neuropathy in feet after completing Chemotherapy

I also had this happen. I completed 6 infusions of Tivdak and in the three weeks following, my neuropathy got much worse. In the 10 months since then, it has not improved. I went to a physical therapist to learn exercises to help my balance and the numb feeling in my feet. I am going to restart the Tivdak soon and I am very worried about how much worse it will get.

Has anyone tried the EMS food massager? Is it effective in treating neuropathy?

My neuropathy also got worse after stopping, I think at about 3-4 months seemed to level off, but not better. Physical therapy for balance exercise has been helpful. Make sure you tell your doctor how you are doing.

My husband has been using the Milo’s foot massager and it has really helped. He has also started Acupuncture and it seems to be helping his neuropathy as well as stomach issues from Whipple surgery and chemo. He’ll go for his 3rd visit this week. Will post updates. Wishing you well in this long journey.
