From patient to advocate: Jayne’s journey of raising awareness for PN

Living with peripheral neuropathy can be challenging, but for Jayne S., it has also become a source of purpose. After developing chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), Jayne turned her experience into action by volunteering with the Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy and raising awareness in her community. From speaking at local events to organizing outreach efforts during Peripheral Neuropathy Awareness Week, she has become a passionate advocate for others living with neuropathy. In this interview, Jayne shares her personal journey, the impact of advocacy, and how anyone can help raise awareness for peripheral neuropathy.
