Anyone else rcognise this? The numbness in my armpit & shoulder since my node clearance was getting steadily better, but following my first 2 TAX it seems to have gone backwards. I have got a bit of numbness in my fingertips too (despite the cold gloves). Maybe it’s logical that the treatment will target newly regrown nerves as well as peripheral nerves?
I’d be interested if anyone has experienced the same thing…
Hi Caroline
I had an mx, immediate recon and partial node clearance - and FEC-T. My PS said that the chemo would make everything feel a bit different - graunchy was the lovely word he used - but that it would settle down again.
He was right - my whole op area felt quite tight and more like it did just afterwards, but it did settle again.
I had the barest tingling in feet and fingers on tax, so I can’t really comment on that.
