I did have swollen legs and also wore pressure hose. Now my legs are normal so I quit using diuretics and support socks. My only real complaint is the numbness in my toes. I want to drive again. I am getting better. What seems to have really helped is vitamins D3 and K2. My chemo nurse said that cancer patients are low in D3. Last time I had blood work it had improved a lot. I don't seem to have brain fog. For years I have taken phosphatidyl serine and it seems to keep me happy. I was horribly sick during chemo when getting Taxol. After the dose was adjusted and I was rehydrated, I haven't had much trouble since, just the monotony of so many sessions of chemo and radiation.
Why didn't you have chemo and radiation?. My lumpectomy at the corner of my right breast looked rather funny, but it seems to be filling in on it's own. I will continue to have chemo (Herceptin only) until the end of February.
