What helps manage Neuropathy with Folfirinox?
Pancreatic Cancer | Last Active: 21 hours ago | Replies (5)Comment receiving replies
I had 12 cycles of Folfirinox. After about the 5th cycle, I started getting neuropathy in the soles of my feet. If you can get some of the cold therapy mittens and booties (or whatever they're called) I would advise doing so. The neuropathy in my feet has become bad now and makes my walking unsteady. It's a real aggravation and as far as I know, there is no way to reverse the condition.

I am sorry to hear your neuropathy has made you unsteady while walking. I started with cold therapy right away on my first chemo session and have been doing it for all since then. The issue I am having is not in my feet but in my shins. I think the drug pools there instead of going down to my feet. Do you take anything like gabapentin to help with the neuropathy? I have seen others talk about using gabapentin. Sending you prayers for healing and stability.
