I had mild neuropathy, but it lingered for about 6 months and some new symptoms even popped up during that time, specifically, numb soles of my feet. But it was all gone after 6 months--except for the chills, which I still get periodically and blame on the oxi. It took about a year for my sex drive to return, however.
One bright note is that my bald spot re-grew hair during chemo.
