Radiation and chemo can cause neuropathy in your hands as it plays havoc with the nerve system. I have this somewhat in my hands after radiation. I also have radiation fibrosis which is scar tissue developed from the radiation to my right breast. I had an acelerated radiation since mine was very small. However with radiation every other day, they radiated the whole breast not just the affected area. So I work on the fibrosis which is scar tissue that has built up underneath my arm and into my hand. Best of luck. I would really have preferred all side effects being discussed instead of "oh, you will just be extra tired". Yes and more.

Probably- I had neuropathy in my hands and feet, and even when it healed to the point of just numbness at my fingertips and toes- that early morning winter bus duty with freezing temps- would put them back to burning, then as I warmed back up, it would go to pins and needles, and then back to the my new normal. Gentle hugs!

@A MyBCTeam Member it does sound like peripheral neuropathy. I have read that vitamins B-1, B-6, and B-12 may help a bit. It is marketed under Vitamin B Complex.
