In 2011 I was diagnosed with cancer and have been undergoing chemotherapy. I have developed neuropathy (numbness and tingling) in my hands. Other than my hands, I am doing very well indeed. My neuropathy should pass once my treatments end, however with stage four cancer, this will mostly never happen. Also I have been taking gabapentin now, which is suppose to help manage the condition. I haven't noticed any changes in the way my hands feel yet. I've been working on my hands, trying to strengthen them so that I can start drawing again. I've done some personal projects for myself and some have turned out pretty well, while others will have to wait until my hands are closer to normal to finish.
