Post-chemotherapy neuropathy - how long?

I finished six months of FOLFIRINOX at the end of February, 17 weeks ago. Since then I've been experiencing lingering peripheral neuropathy in my fingers and toes. It's really hard to quantify, but I think it's (very) slowly improving. I've been taking mushroom extracts and also re-started acupuncture, which might be helping. I saw my oncologist this week and was advised that it's only permanent in about 10% of patients, but it can hang around for up to two years.

 

Does anyone else have any experiences with this that they'd like to share?
