@tomrennie I'm having a PET scan on the 6th and see my oncologist on the 14th. I'll see what the story is after that. The chemo induced neuropathy is very bad in my legs and feet and I'm afraid if I go back on Gemcitibine/Abraxane again, I'll be in a wheel chair even if I were to use the cold therapy booties and mittens. Plus double vision from the tumor on the left rectus muscle of my left eye that had radiation therapy done on it. I guess you just have to play the hand you're dealt and do the best you can. Did a mile walk today walking like a duck, but the vendors at the mall are getting used to me, I think. 🙂 Thanks for your reply and concern, sir.

@56pan Maybe the PET scan will reveal something positive? We can still hold on to some hope can't we? I am positive that the neuropathy can be crippling. I have it in my hands and legs below my knees. I live with compression gloves and knee high socks. I also go through tubes of arnicare gel. They seem to help. At least that is what I tell myself. I have been in wheelchairs, so I understand. Waddling is sometimes the only way to get around. I actually can talk like donald duck, so I have tried to have some fun with it in the past. Wow on the vision. I can only imagine the frustration. I agree on having to play the hand that you are dealt. I wish that I could get some new cards and start the hand all over again. I have too many deuces and not enough aces. Keeping plugging away and hope for the best. That is all we can do sometimes. Good luck to you sir. Let us know how things go ok?
