Neuropathy Starts Years After?

internutz - sorry I don't have an answer, but how frustrating for you. My neuropathy started with Taxotere #4. Do you have any other risk factors? Maybe you could schedule an appointment with a neurologist. Mine was most informative.

Internutz, I started experiencing neuropathy 2 years out of treatment, My symptoms began in my left hand and fingers... numbness, tingling and an itch that can't be scratched, (which my Oncologist doesn't understand, sent to a neurologist, negative findings for nerve damage) the itching is horrendous!! it slowly moved up my forearm, it's been about a year since this all began with no relief!! Currently, the itching has moved to my right arm. I'm not experiencing numbness or tingling just the itching. I'm beginning to think this might be caused from meno, any thoughts? I'm going crazy!

internutz1, I have similar symptoms and have an appt. with a physical therapist in a couple of days to see if it might be lymphedema, even though I only had 2 lymph nodes removed. Have you seen your onco yet?

I am curious about this too. I finished my last chemo back in mid-November and in the past week am starting to have pins and needles feelings in my arms and upper back. Wondering if it can be delayed neuropathy, I was on Taxol and I know that does cause neuropathy. I had numbness in my hands and feet at the time which went away. I'm hoping this is not the start of some permanent problem because I am finally feeling better the last few months and am ready to move on!

I am still experiencing numbness under my arm where they removed ONE lymph node. Have never felt better since I had cancer in 2014. Still feel like crap pretty much 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

In my experience, yes neuropathy can start some months after treatment. Did for me, just an aggravating thing, for me, not life altering!😉
