I finished chemotherapy(for colon cancer using ox platinum) in June of this year---
my neuropathy began 2 weeks when my chemo ended. I had the usual neuropathy during chemo(adverse reaction to cold etc.) but nothing like what i have now....complete numbness in hands and feet...everyone says it is temporary--i began to doubt it...so i went to a neurologist at USC Dr. Engel, he gave me an EMG a muscle biopsy(didnt hurt) and a spinal tap, all in one day(last week tuesday) I will get my results back in a few weeks, he says if he sees anything he can treat it with IVIG but if it is stictly chemo based neuropathy....well we all know the story....i will let everyone know what happens....and yes it is hard to type..
