Chemo still sucks on taxol

@sickgirl I see this to be more the normal than not through this treatment. I'm 2.5 years post but honestly?? Im alot better and have come a very long way, I had to learn to walk again it was that bad. I worked with an Exercise Physiologist which came through my income protection and for 2yrs I worked reduced days of 3. Only this year Ive gone back full time but to be honest its damn hard physically and I dont know how long I will maintain it. So Im working really hard now to shift a few kilos to help with fitness. I still cant walk more than 40mins without severe pain in my feet and toes. I also suffer cramping throughout my body randomly and constantly due to chemo shrinking the sheath over the muscles. Stretching exercises absolutely help but like my EP said I will never be the same or pain free. So to me its been about getting back to a life that I can be quite happy with and I think Ive done that...with a lot of compromise. 

Theres so much the Oncologists dont really tell you about treatment, mine doesnt really want to know about residual effects years later because there job is to prescribe it to make you better. For me its the million dollar question having had a recurrence once. 

Slow and steady honestly, and really I found I had to not beat myself up that I couldnt do anything about the side effects or inability to work eventhough I had 2 children to support. It was hard so very hard, financially Im ruined. Be Kind to yourselves everyone....xo M
