I've been done with chemo for 8 months now and still have neuropathy in my right foot. From everything my doctor has said and personal research there's no real way of knowing. For some patients it never goes away. Mine has improved but it's very slow going.

If you're talking about neuropathy it can last for a while. My Last chemo was 5 years ago. I have it on and off. Right now 5 yrs of remission from AML-acute myloid leukemia - I have trouble standing in the shower and use a bath chair. I also have schleraderma which was later diagnosed-due to bone marrow transplant and Graft vs. Host Disease. I stopped taking Oxycodone for pain and use medical cannabis.

I had heard that it can last years and that’s why I put my hands and feet in ice while having the treatment, to keep it from being too bad. My nails did come in very thin so I had to wear press on nails so I could type at work. It really hurts when you bend your nails backwards from the slightest touch.

Thanks for all the replies. I was wondering if effects lasted a long time.

You mean neuropathy? I've been out of treatment a little over a year and I still have it in my hands and feet. Everyone's different, sometimes it can go away quickly, sometimes it can last a few years. I take pain meds and do OT/PT to learn how to manage it.

everyone is different...just keep trucking.
