@johnbishop thank you for your response. Since he lives in a different country from the conversation with him its more numbness and heaviness in his feet than pain. He does not complain about pain, he says that it feels like his feet are in the mud and it is hard to walk. Thanks

I received a notification from the Foundation fir Peripheral Neuropathy concerning a study that requires patients with diagnosed Chemotherapy induced PN. For anyone interested, the link is https://collinge.org/cipn-study/
