Neuropathy- need some moral support
Hi all, I had one dose taxol and 2 doses herceptin. They have since put treatment on hold 3 weeks ago due to neuropathy in feet and legs (I was borderline for needing it anyway). Im now in a vicious cycle or spiralling anxiety and worsening symptoms, despite them only being mild to begin with. I’ve upped my antidepressants which will hopefully kick in soon. But I’m so scared that this is going to be permanent. I get zapping, tingling and varying numbness. Some days are good, where I barely notice, and other days, like today, it feels debilitating. I guess I’m looking for some good news stories or tips on what worked physically or mentally to help get you through this. many thanks, Anna398ViewsSign in to react to this post5Comments
Neuropathy - pins and needles after radiotherapy
Hello Peoples. I see that Neuropathy is common for chemo or drug treatment - but has anyone had Neuropathy after Radiotherapy? I had Radiotherapy for DCIS - it finished 4 months ago - but I have had pins and needles and numbness in my arms and legs. Has anyone else with DCIS had this too? I was fine throughout the radiotherapy sessions - no pain - no skin issues - not fatigued. But now this months later - curious to know if it happened to others and what process you went through to find out if it was related to the radiotherapy. I have just had bloods taken by my GP. INterested in others stories. :-)141ViewsSign in to react to this post1Comment
