Neuropathy in feet after completing Chemotherapy

What your husband has is Chemo Inducted Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN). I had 11 rounds of chemo after my Whipple surgery for stage 3 Pancreatic Cancer. My chemo was completed in MAY 2019. The neuropathy unfortunately has progressed from a minor tingling to a burning, tingling and numbness. I have tried various creams, pills, and treatments with no real help. I am in the process of getting myself off Gabapentin which my neurologist prescribed. I don't like some of the side effects (weight gain and a problem with my vision). There seems nothing will work for this type of neuropathy. Walking helps. Good luck to your husband.

Thank you and like you we are trying some creams, compression socks. Will be meeting with an Acupuncturist at end of month hoping this will help.
He does feel walking helps, but the mornings and nights are tough. I hope you too can find more relief. Thanks again.
