Hello all...

[gta03]

Hello all, I am new here. I was diagnosed with Clear Cell Ovarian Cancer in May 2021. The diagnoses came via a PE, Pulmonary Embolism. I have currently done 6 rounds of Chemotherapy, have had Debunking, & a totally Hysterectomy. Latest CA-125 was 11, which I'd like to be a little lower. My biggest issue is the Neuropathy in my feet/hands, any suggestions are welcomed.

My doctor told me to take B complex vitamins. Did physical and occupational therapy too

Had that quite bad the dosage was lowered slightly, but once you have it you can do some exercise to try and alleviate it, in my case the so called tingly hands took a year and bit it does come back occasionally, the one on the feet hasn't gone away it remains but at a very low rate, having had chemo recent it came back but wasn't to the degree of the first. Wish you luck.

Thank you MarleyZ! My Doctor said it may take 8 months to a year to go completely away. I hope it does, I've never had anything like this before, & it isn't fun.😩

Yeah it comes and goes, many a sleepless night with the toe tingling I have had, main thing is just keep your oncologist updated am sure it will start to go but agree very annoying.

I’ve been using CBD cream or balm on my feet before bed. I put light sneaker socks on to make sure the cream stays on my feet. It has made a world of difference.

That sounds good. Where do you get it from? Has it improved the numbness?

Hi gta. I’m also getting neuropathy in my fingertips and toes. They prescribed drinking glutamine for 4 days before and during chemo. Also had ice booties and mitts on for during taxol. It seems worse at night when I’m trying to sleep. Very annoying! I hope yours improves ! Are you taking any meds for it?GramJ

I had my last round of Chemo in November, & I am seriously thinking about doing Acupuncture. A friend of mine did Acupuncture for Neuropathy, & said it helped a lot to lessen the pain.

My mum has a numb right foot which is a bit worrying as she still drives. Her car is automatic so wouldn't be as bad if it was he left foot! We think it was caused by the chemo. I saw an advert with Eamon Holmes and he had his feet on a gadget which is supposed to help with circulation and I was wondering if that might help at all. Has anyone else seen that?
