I'm currently receiving chemo treatment, same meds as you have had, in 3 weeks interval. I'm experiencing tingling in hands and feet plus other symptoms. The tingling
is not debilitating. I'm interested how other members deal with it, medication, massage, exercise? How often do you get the bev? Is it the same dosage as when you started chemo treatment? Will it stop if you stop the bev?
I'm wearing Hoka sandals for my short walking exercise.

Charlotte, thank you for writing back. I’ll definitely check out the Hoka sandals. I, too, had only mild tingling after my first time on chemo. But my oncologist warned me that chemo side effects are cumulative. My feet get really painful towards the end of my second round of chemo. Paclitaxel is most likely to cause neuropathy; bevacizumab is least likely. I have not complained (much) to my doctor about this, because I didn’t want her to stop or pause the chemo or lower the dose. Sometimes it gets better several months after stopping chemo, so I’m hoping for that.
