Neuropathy, edema and insomia side effects from chemo.

Posted by thierryb1959 @thierryb1959, Feb 9 8:45am

I am a PC metastatic(gleason 4+5) patient. Cancer moved to the bones. Diagnosed in 04/24, started with Firmagon, then radiations(2weeks), Nubeqa, Eligard(replaced Firmagon)and 6 rounds of Chemo (docetaxel).
Last chemo was at the end of November 2024. my PSA is :0.1.
I still have neuropathy in my feet, swollen feet and ankles(edema) and difficulties to sleep well.
Any advices how to get rid of these side effects? Will they stop by themselves eventually?
Thank you.
