IF you go and click onto the 'blue' part of Darlene's post? It will take you directly to the Peripheral Neuropathy forums.
I too have had some post-chemo 'chemos' but my own neuropathy started about 20 months before my cancer was found.
The type of neuropathy you mite have is either due to having the 'cancer'?-thus called 'paraneoplastic' neuropathy, OR due to the chemo- which would be a toxic neuropathy.
At the beginning of this forum are 'threads' called 'STICKIES' or 'Stickys' meaning this stuff is good and should be kept or stuck at the top for all to read. Read it and get a bit of neuropathy background! Then please go and read a bunch of posts from others who have PN and learn from their experiences.
People are good here and many more than I understand that we often have more than one 'issue' going on at once!
Looking forward to seeing you there! !!!!!'s - j
