Hi Charlie,
That's good chemo is finished but it can take a while to feel better afterwards. I know that as soon as mine was finished I was wanting to feel magically better but it took a while. And then even when I thought I was all fine and recovered I wasn't yet. I had gotten used to feeling a bit ill so as I got better I thought that was as good as people could feel but then after a while I felt amazingly better. I hadn't been able to remember than you could feel that well.
Hopefully you will be gradually feeling better soon. Just take it easy.
I had 4 months of chemo which finished in February last year. I had only slight tingly numbness in my fingers so I don't know what is like losing feeling in hands & feet.
I had a total of 4 surgeries including a unilateral mastectomy. I was petrified beforehand but I got through it. Something that helped me was having something planned to look forward to a couple of weeks after the surgery. I had trouble believing in the idea that I would have a mastectomy and still be a person afterwards so having an event marked down in my calendar for the "afterwards" time was helpful.
Best wishes
