I received chemotherapy and then developed peripheral neuropathy. Now I get cramping of my fingers, hands and lower extremities. Is this related? How likely is it that this will go away.

Hi Michele - There's just no telling if this is a chemo side effect. Chemo has such different effects on all of us - we all have our very own experience with it. So, there's no telling if it'll go away, either. I've had after-effects of cancer treatment that have been coming and going for 7 years now... you learn to live with stuff. But ask your doctor, OK? (S)he should be able to tell you if this is an identified side effect of the "cocktail" you got, and if so, what's the prognosis for getting better. Good luck - PJH
