I’m not sure, because the numbness in my feet and hands came about two months after chemotherapy treatments. Four or five days after my first treatment I got C-diff and was given antibiotics for it. Basically that’s when I started feeling the symptoms in my abdomen and a compression feeling throughout my rib cage area. Then three weeks later had my second chemo treatment and things got worse. Found it very hard to take deep breath’s and ended up going to the ER several times. The first ER visit was because I had an A-fib episode m, that’s when I found out I had breast cancer. That was eleven months ago now. Now I’m basically told it could take up to two years to get back to normal, or at least I’m hoping for that!

You have been through a great deal, @d13. I agree that it might take a long time. When nerves are damaged it can take a while for them to regenerate.

Last summer I had plastic surgery on my eyelids and forehead to correct some vision problems and I still have a great deal of numbness. The surgeon said the numbness would dissipate only a millimeter a month.

I know I can't compare my surgery to yours but it is an example of how long it can take. Have any physical therapies been suggested?
