I had both my hands and wrists x-rayed this week just so i had a benchmark for when i have my drug break in June and July. All that came up was general wear and tear and a small amount of arthritis, not much different to the one i had early 2017. I was relating to a friend yesterday about how we used to teach the kids left hand from right hand by holding your hands up palm facing away from your face and stretching both thumbs down till they were at a 90°angle and asking the kids which one made the letter L...not a hope in hell of me doing that with my right hand! I used to play the piano years ago, no way could i stretch to an octave now. Yet my onc was still trying to make out that the drug may not be the problem. I cannot understand why so many medical professionals just can't accept that this is a major drug related problem particularly as they are being told time and time again...go figure...I'm with you @arpie, the things I've had to change, little everyday things like new tea caddy and jug cos i couldn't open the old ones, not being able to undo my bra at night, though my husband takes great delight in performing that task. Ah well, there has to be a silver lining somewhere for someone 😍
