Hi , I'm 64 and had cancer 5 years ago with chemotherapy. I like you ended up with peripheral neuropathy , I started having symptoms within a month of the first chemo and mine has gradually worsened . They tell you exercise is good but it doesn't make a difference although I find running is less painful .The only thing I find that eases the pain is soaking your hands or feet in Epsom salts . With regard to how long you have to live with it , well everybody is different and in my case is worsening and some days the pain in my feet is almost unbearable but I'm cancer free and alive to see family grow up so I think I'm in front. Sorry this probably doesn't help any but it has made me feel better talking to someone who has also experienced it. I hope we can find answers. All The Best Rusty.  ... View more
