Chemotherapy-induced neuropathy: What helps get rid of it?

Thanks so much for your kind reply. Mine also seems to fluctuate which gives me hope that it can improve. The fact that your husband has made it 2 years out from chemo also gives me a little hope. If I can keep kickin' for 2 more years I will try to just be grateful and live happily with this nuisance.

One more thing. I don’t know if you are on curative or palliative chemo. My mother had a different type of cancer, had palliative chemo and also had some neuropathy. If you are in that situation, I want to encourage you that my mom was very glad she got the palliative chemo and we, her family, treasured the extra time we had with her. I will be praying for you.

I don’t know what kind of cancer or the specific treatment you have had but my husband has grastric adenosquamous carcinoma. That is a tough diagnosis. If he can keep going for two years, I have great hopes that you can too. Never give up hope of small, slow improvements in your neuropathy. He is not all the way back, but I do agree with him that I see gradual improvement. There have been times that he has been very down and discouraged, but overall he is glad he has undertaken the very aggressive treatment plan to prolong his life. If I can answer any other questions for you, I will answer or ask my husband for you
