Is it Neuropathy or not??
What I think of as my neuropathy started in the 2nd lot of chemo I had - dox and hercepton. It was quite fascinating, feelings like butterflys running down my arms, up my legs, across my back and che...
Thankyou. It just seems to be the pain is part of neuropathy, which I didn't get. I am wary of asking onc as driving is one thing that I have to be very careful with. I don't totally understand why but my feet don't respond normally, and I know that I don't drive as well as previously. Going from pedal to pedal is not fast, sometimes I intend to decelerate (ie take my foot of the accelerator) but my foot hasn't come off, and I sometimes find it hard to judge how much pressure to put on brake. Little things that before you just did, and now my feet just don't. I have heard that various feet problems can cause you to lose your license, (ie diabetes) and doctors have to report if they think it warrants. And unfortunately I think I warrant. I drive as little as possible now, but to lose it scares me.
