@PatsyN Ohhhh I have to agree, I was told Taxol will be much easier than FEC Ummm NO, it was different but I suffered bone, muscle and nerve pain right through and it was relentless with no reprieve in between the infusions, and not to mention our little friend neuropathy LOL. Everyone is different absolutely, thank goodness for that! Ive had to learn to walk again like you, whilst I can walk, I cannot fast paced walk anymore and definitely cannot run. Chemo certainly helped that LOL, caused a massive decline in bone density and osteoporosis in my lower lumbar and neck...but hey! Im not over 70 so can't qualify for my Prolia injections on the PBS pfffft!
I have been on income protection since last year for 2 of my 5 days of work, thing is though, as its deemed a 2nd income Im taxed double!!!! and only get 75% of predisability wage. Whilst I used to think its better than nothing...it equates to next to nothing!!!! so much so I can no longer survive and have to work full time moving forward to support myself..but concerned how...I just try focus on each day keep moving forward as best I can with what is now the new me. Thank God I have a sense of humor!!! :D xx
