Chemotherapy
What is it?
- Peripheral nerve damage can often be a side effect of certain types of chemotherapy
- Symptoms tend to be at their worst 3-5 months after treatment, but can start to reduce as more time passes
- If nerve health is maintained, symptoms could completely go away
- Peripheral neuropathy might also be caused by the cancer itself, if a tumor presses on a peripheral nerve
How is it diagnosed?
- When patients experience peripheral neuropathy symptoms during or after chemotherapy treatments, the symptoms tend to be attributed to chemotherapy
- More detailed testing might be specific to the specific type of neuropathic symptoms
