Imagine dealing with the aftermath of chemotherapy and suddenly finding it difficult to walk or hold onto things. In this episode of 'The Breast Cancer Recovery Coach', Laura Lummer dives into the challenging world of peripheral neuropathy, a common side effect of chemotherapy. Laura, a two-time breast cancer survivor and seasoned wellness coach, breaks down what neuropathy is and how it can disrupt daily life.
She explains that not all chemotherapy drugs are the same—some, like taxanes and vinca alkaloids, interfere with nerve function, while others, like platinum drugs, directly damage sensory nerves. But it’s not all doom and gloom. Laura shares practical advice on managing neuropathy through good nutrition, exercise, and even alternative therapies like acupuncture. She emphasizes the importance of vitamin B12 for nerve health and suggests grip strength training as a helpful exercise.
This episode is packed with actionable tips and heartfelt advice for anyone struggling with neuropathy due to breast cancer treatment. If you're looking for ways to alleviate these uncomfortable symptoms and regain some normalcy in your life, this episode is a must-listen.
