Frost bite feet
When I had my second last dose of chemo at the end of February 2010, I developed a sensation on the bottom of my toes and the soles of my feet. It is a feeling of tightness and like walking on very sharp sand. The nurses and doctor say it wil go away. Has anyone else had this and had it "go away"?

No one told me this bit was so bad
I have finished chemo, 3 weeks ago. A lot of chemo, 16 doses in all. I was so fine through it all, just got on with it. The AC was really unpleasant, for about two weeks after each treatment I was really sick. Taxol not as bad, but now I am left with no recognisable tastebuds registering different tastes, fluid retention…

Chemo brain
When will my chemo brain recover? Had chemo over 2 years ago and sillier than ever. Work 2 jobs 2 days each and on the verge of quitting one which I have had for 16 yearsbecause I make so many errors that I am going to jump before I am pushed. Sick of being a idiot! Forget things, get confused.

Decisions decisions!!!!!
