Thanks ladies, what you have written AllyJay is exactly what is going through my mind. Its not only me on the road so give it up before the worst happens. I think I was hoping that someone would say that its something else and treatable. Oh well. Yours sounds a bit worse than mine, feet and calves mostly affected for me and some days it is a lot worse than others.. for driving at least - Should join you with the walker, at least I might get a bit more exercise. And although my onc has said that Vit B doesn't help I have had a couple of doctors say they can try Vit B injections. Oh and Ally Jay I didn't downplay mine during chemo, but my onc still kept me at the same dose - with the extent the cancer had been in the nodes he said it wasn't worth the risk stopping or reducing, so I am alive just a bit wobbly and WALKING a lot more... now. Just got to get my head around it. A bit of good unrelated news - I brought myself a spa and concentrate those bubbles on my armpit breast areas every avo (and my feet but its hasn't worked there) and my op arm has improved quite a bit, a lot less stiffness and fluid build up.
