Thank you so much for this comment! I will order some gloves and slippers. I have had sciatica for years, so I know, what nerve pain feels like. I don’t really care about my hair, but I play piano and don’t want to lose an activity that is therapeutic for me.

@turbomom and others, you'll also want to read the tips members shared in this related discussion:

I might also add that you keep your team informed if you experience neuropathy and share what is important to you, like playing the piano. Neuropathy is usually temporary. By keeping them informed, they may suggest dosage alterations to prevent permanent damage. Everyone is different.

Please return to post your experience as you manage your chemotherapy treatments.
