Glad things are going well for you bluemeade7! It’s scary at first isn’t it? I found it desoncerting to be told we dont really know if this chemo works for you or not ....What chemo drugs did you have for 4 rounds? And did radiation involve whole abdomen? Will the incontinence and odd bowel stuff resolve and did you have radiation after surgery, and chemo? My 6th round definitely left me with neuropathy in my feet but nowhere else and only this round so I hope it goes away as its like walking with a plank of wood at the bottom of my legs...quite weird and no sensation to hot or cold. Amazing what they can do with surgery now leaving little marks instead of major scars..and super short recovery time..physically that is, mentally it does take a bit to come to terms with it all.

I had carboplatin and Taxol. 3 sessions of brachytherapy. Congrats for being NED. Yes this is scary but also boring and frustrating. Now that I am one month post chemo, I am starting to feel a bit better, but still fogged out mentally. I have continuing foot neuropathy, less in my fingers. The incontinence is not resolving but the pain on urination is gone. Bowel seems to be trying to act normally but just isn't there yet. Intermittent diarrhea. My energy levels are pathetic but manageable as it is cold out so not much happening anyway. I am so lucky to have supportive family and friends and am newly appreciative of my time what ever that may be in the future. I am optimistic most of the time. 😊 nice to meet you and everyone. If anyone has questions about UPSC and my experience ask away.
