Parkinson’s and chemotherapy

Posted by Anonymous68607 @anonymous68607, Jun 20, 2023

I am a 68-year-old woman and was diagnosed with PD in 2021. I have right hand tremors and I’m not on any meds. Recently (April 2023) I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Based on test results, my oncologist is recommending chemotherapy. Could anyone with PD share their experience with chemotherapy?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Parkinson's Disease Support Group.

Those are troublesome symptoms, @howardk. Frequent urination is common with people who have PD and can be very tiring as well. Has your wife ever been prescribed meds to help with the frequent urination?

How is her walking, gait and balance doing?
