Neuropathy in feet after completing Chemotherapy

During my six-month Folferinox treatment, after complaining of neuropathy, my oncologist cut the dosage of oxaliplatin, and eventually stopped it last February, before a new regimen of gemcitabine/Abraxane. Neuropathy is still there, somewhat worse, but I wouldn't call it painful - just numb and tingly. Massage and exercises have helped take the edge off. I developed a cold sensitivity in my toes accompanying the neuropathy.

Thanks for responding. I wish they had stopped the Oxaliplatin for him. Hopefully one of these home treatments will help. My husband doesn’t have the cold sensitivity in his feet, just painful.
He is, however, always cold even now after chemo treatments. My heart aches for everyone going thru these grueling times.
