hi This kind of weakness is very common after radiotherapy and chemotherapy . I suggest that you start good diet rich in vitamins proteins and carbohydrate ( though you will be inclined not to eat) so that your body recovers fast . Wait for 2-3 months and then if you feel that numbness is not improving then go for MRI and NCV to assess damage to nerves if any.
