Introduction

Hello and welcome. I am just over a year from my last dose of docetaxel and yes I have peripheral neuropathy . My hands are now ok, tho I am a bit clumsy and do tend to drop things. My feet are not so good. I take lyrica and endep for my feet which help. I think you get used to your feet hurting. I now walk for an hour each day and I do it in pain but the rest of my body really likes it. I am still in the process of building up the drugs in my system so am hoping things improve. I feel it is far better than the alternative! I also did radiation on my chest wall to, hopefully, lower the recurrence rate there. My thinking was that I needed to hit the cancer with everything I could. I also had mastectomy and axillary clearance, one node out of 37 was affected. Chemo is shitty but, to me, the alternative is worse. Xxxx
