DCIS - to be or not??

Janey,

thanks for your response - after reading about your hand/foot I feel like I exaggerated - a lot - I reckon your hand/foot was worse than mine, it's kinda weird seeing your hands peeling though isn't it? looks like i have some terrible contagious disease - leprosy springs to mind!!!. the peeling skin got worse today. hope i don't lose the toe nails - that sounds awful - how did you bear it? it was bad enough shuffling about with the blisters but with no toe nails I'd really be stuck, no one else to drive and how can you wear shoes then?  I am hoping the numbness in my fingers goes away,  i was so relieved to not have to have more chemo - lord knows what my extremities would look like after  another 2 goes!! I couldn't hold a pen for a few days and as you said, tying shoelaces etc has presented  a challenge. has the neuropathy gone away? - I hope it's not permanent, it would be awful. I have to say that I am now totally spooked about the diagnosis, scared I am really, I don't think it actually sank in till yesterday (three months after initial diagnosis of inflammatory BC) nothing slow about me!! i will be glad to get my hair back i have to admit, I feel cold all the time on my neck and head. I have to agree with you, the time has just whizzed by since July. my daughter and I have been giving each other quite a few hugs these last few days - i think more for me than her sometimes!!  I am nervous about surgery though and some days i find it difficult to be positive and being home all the time and not being able to do stuff was really getting me down at least now i can finish unpacking my belongings from our recent house move!!

I wish you the best in your treatment too.
