Mine lasted a long time- it was from the Taxotere, and the oncologist said whatever I had left after 6 months would be my new normal- what he did not mention (or heck, maybe he did not realize- (oh, have I mentioned I am not impressed with him??) was that I was continuing on Herceptin as a targeted drug- and Herceptin can cause neuropathy as well. So, while Taxotere was the original culprit, the Herceptin may have played a part in it going on for so long before starting to heal.

My chemo started in Jan 2019, and finished in June 2019- (6 months of chemo) and the neuropathy was bad- but told it would probably be better by January- so I was excited- neuropathy should be gone as I end Herceptin. But nope.

So hearing this would be the "new normal" was not good news.
By June 2020 (6 months after finishing Herceptin)- I was considering quitting my job- walking on school concrete floors had me practically in tears by the end of the day. I decided I would make the decision after summer break. A few months later, it was definitely improving- and continued to improve. Now, it is just a bit of numbness in the tips of my fingers and toes.

So- remember
- different drugs can have neuropathy as a side effect, so be aware
-our bodies heal on their own timetables- so please don't give up hope

Hugs!

Hope it works, my oncologist did not suggest anything except time- but he left a lot to be desired!

Mine is worse in my hands but they put me on gabapentin and vitamin b something… my feet are significantly better but my fingers still have a lot of numbness.
