I forgot to mention this to my Onc at our last meeting and was wondering if any of you guys have experienced this?
I've been getting this weird sensation, it sort of feels like a sudden rush of blood (or possibly a tingly sensation) starting from the top of my ankles/bottom of calfs running down to my feet. The whole thing lasts only a few seconds then goes away. It happens a handful of times per day and doesn't bother me at all, theres no pain and it doesn't last long. Is this neuropathy?

Re: Is this neuropathy?
Hi nomoretacos,
I would say yes. I get the same type of sensation a couple of times a day and put it down to neuropathy.
Hopefully it gets better for you.
On an aside, your name amuses me and makes me sad at the same time. I love tacos!!!
All the best,
GK
