Hello @oliver8112000, I'm not a doctor but from what I've read chemotherapy treatments can cause neuropathy Chemo Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN) vs Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIPD).
The GBS/CIDP Foundation has a good video on sorting out your diagnosis and treatment - https://www.gbs-cidp.org/cidp/.

There is also a discussion on CIDP that may be helpful to learn more:
-- CIDP (Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy)

Thank you. I know Chemotherapy can bring on Neuropathy. Generally during the treatment. Rarely will it show its face almost over 3 years later out of nowhere. I never had Neuropathy in 1981 for my Leukemia and Bone Marrow Transplant with Total Body Radiation or in 2007-2008 for Breast Cancer years following I was at several of my Niece’s Weddings dancing in 5”,
yes 5” heels. Truth. Now slippers. Not fun. So much to take in. ☹️
