When were you diagnosed and when did you have treatment and then surgery? How are you feeling?

Hi Helen, thank you. I Was diagnosed in August 2024. I started the chemo and radiation in November 2024.

Surgery was Feb. 10, 2024.

I’ve been miserable and trying to sort out where my problems are coming from.

The day after surgery I woke up with my legs numb from hip to knee with sharp stabbing pains. I had to stay in hotels for weeks, since I couldn’t climb the stairs to my apartment. I’m 74 and this neuropathy has ruined my life. My surgeon snapped at me angrily just before the surgery. I think she nicked a nerve or something down there. I’ve had lifelong major depression. For over two weeks, I slept for 16-20 hours a day… I thought maybe it was a side effect of the cancer but I can see it is not. Sorry for the rambling and self pity.
