I did not have a good day yesterday. But then again Saturdays at the end of each chemo week are my worst days. It is then that detoxing begins. It is hard to explain. I just don't feel right in my own skin and I do not know what to do with myself. I do not have any energy. My legs feel like lead. I get chilled easily, but above all, I suffer from that dreaded neuropathy, especially in my hands. Lotion barely alleviates the burning sensation in the palms of my hands. I am wondering if this might become permanent after chemo is finished. I know of 2 ex-chemo patients who are still suffering three years after their last chemo treatment. I would like to avoid that if at all possible. I will ask my oncologist at the next appointment what can be done. I would also like to have a consultation preferably with a neurologist. And/or have my last chemo dose reduced. That would be nice. Today I am better though! Yeah!
