Hello,
Thank you so much for the pep talk and the tips!
I’m really hoping I can drive myself, it will be a long day for someone else if not. Yellowstone & Suits 2 of my favs, I plan on taking enough things to keep me busy. I do love to be outside, I walk and do the garden thing, have access to a pool and swim, which is nice (not sure about sun though), will have to check.
Did you have any neuropathy or lymphedema? I’m a little concerned about that and read that compression sleeves might work. Will check with my oncologist.
Thanks again, anything else you can think of let me know!
All the best to you as well.
MJ

Hello there! Regarding the neuropathy, I got some from the taxol. Just be sure to pay really really close attention to your feet and fingers and if you start to feel anything, anything, let your doctor know immediately. I had to stop short of my 12 treatments at 10. But it's important to stop in time, because if it goes on too long it can tend to take longer to go away, and maybe not at all. So I'm just saying, don't try to ignore it or be too strong, speak up!
