Neuropathy- need some moral support

Hi Anna

I can not share any good news, as I feel the same as you. Some days are good, some days are bad. What really helps me is taking off my shoes or house slippers and resting. It also helps me when I ignore it and keep myself preoccupied with some 'distractions' such as swimming or light housework or painting. However, for me it is important to rest between activities. I developed neuropathy after my treatment is finished (chemo and radiation). As I am on hormone blockers, Letrozole and additional medication to complement hormone blockers called Abemaciclib, I believe that all of this together contributed to the development neuropathy in my feet. I do not have neuropathy in my hands, otherwise I would be breaking anything I hold. I also developed lymphoedema so there are a few issues I have been dealing with. But to go through all of this, I have to keep positive. I always report this to my oncologist who wanted to put me on some medication for neuropathy that I refused as I am already taking so many meds. I hope there will be some more positive responses to your question.
