Hello Robertson57,
for most the effects wear off in the following months,but for a smaller number it can be permanant.l suffered with both hands and feet,but fortunately it wore off in my hands.My feet are permanantly affected,which for me is a constant happy reminder that l cheated a stage 4 diagnosis and am one very lucky boy. Heading towards a twelve year anniversary it is a smallprice to pay for a whole lot more of a good life.
Hopefully you will fall into the average group, rather than the elite few like myself !!!

I was still experiencing neuropathy three months after finishing my final cycle of FOLFIRINOX. It was definitely gone within a year. I remember thinking at the time that it would never go, but it did. I hope it does for you soon!
Hi thanks very much for that it’s good to talk to people who have experienced the same thing best wishes
