hi , yes had some neuropathy at end , tingling in toes and under feet . but nothing serious . doctor cut down last dose slightly becauce of this . Had extensive lymph nodes removed so have problem with lymphodema. but managing it .no big arm or anything but hardness under arm pit that needs to be massaged . the compressive bandage managed the arm very well . massage from your wrist down to your upper arm . definitely get pressure bandage . it helps a lot .cant be bothered to wear it half the time but it helps a lot . don't wear while your asleep tho . but even from your elbow to your upper arm just massaging it back from your elbow is very good . a physio is good to massage for you . it's a gentle massage and they can give you some tips. but you may not get it , they can check with machine to see if there is any enlargement . i was hungry and this happens some times with treatment , you don't lose weight .

i lay in the sun outdoors a few times and felt great . i don't think you could stay long tho . with sensitive skin . so many people were shocked how good my skin looked , i said i'm getting a chemical peel ! i thought losing the hair would be traumatic , but it wasn't . was surprised how easy you adjust . bought hugely expensive wig and never wore it . just used a soft bucket hat .
Driving was no problem . But hospital only 20 mins away in county area .. i cooked my own meals . cleaner did bathroom and bedroom every week . i had radiation after , and unfortunately got covid at xmas , even tho was extremely careful . got the antivirals but still have quite a lot of fatigue . any exercise now is like a massive dopamine hit , feel good after , mainly swimming in pool, the body saying do more of that ! and it gives you more energy.

but the tiredness is a problem . i think we all want a quick fix but you really have to rest too .
In Australia all treatment was free , so that was less stressful . and lots of follow ups

i just thought this chemo is killing off the cancer cells and is helping me . so go for it . there is nothing you can do about it , so why worry. it's the worry that will harm you more . the unknown is the worst , but once you start it will feel a normal process to do to get rid of the bad cells. you've got this . !!!
