Default Not only do I want to welcome you--

--and reiterate the suggestions made previously about coming over to discuss your situation at the Peripheral Neuropathy board, but I'd like to add a bit more info.

Chemo is certainly well known for causing neuropathy;, what is not as well known is that blood cancers can also cause it. There is evidence that the rogue antibodies that are associated with lymphoproliferation can cross react with certain nerve epitopes and damage nerves, leading to symptoms.
