For my mom, she used to have the neuropathy on her hands and feet when she was on folfox...but after stopping the treatment for good, her hands and feet went back to normal. She no longer feels sensitivity in her hands or feet, but the fatigue I think is ...."forever". When my mom was on folfox/chemo, she would be weak for about 4-5 days, and afterward she would be right back on her feet. Walking every morning and eating a lot. But After being on chemo for a year, it has really made her body weaker. She isn't able to walk for a long time nor be as active as before. She has to sit down after walking or standing for a long time.
Maybe you can try walking in the morning for like 10-15 min, whenever you're in a better condition to help keep your body active. You can also try eating more fruits and vegetable for more vitamins and proteins. I use to make my mom smoothies for the days she couldn't eat and that helped a little.
I wish you the best Carol!
