Is there any connection between Small Fiber Neuropathy and Cancer?
Is there Any connection between SFN and Cancer? I have had SFN Since 2013 and my Dr. Told me yesterday that I have Cancer... I was wondering ... if there was any connection between the two of them?

My Service Dog... is watching over me intently... keeps smelling me....
Yes, I surly can... I hope to find out on Tuesday the 20th... I will keep you updated... Thank you so, for Your concern.... I have gone to the Mayoclinic ... online for years for Medical information... I was a Private Duty Nurse for 23 years... now, I am in need of information for myself... Mayoclinic I TRUST for Medical Information... they are Tops in My book...
Sherryanne1959, bruising and petechiae that appear as a rash are seen with leukemia and myeloma.
There are good treatments including Cart T. where they use your own immune system to subdue the cancer.
You might not want to wait till the 20th. You could call the md's office and ask for biopsy results. It's great that they called, but the mystery isn't fair. And it is better to develope questions before you see the physician.
You might ask for a return call from the physician and an earlier appointment, maybe by cancellation.
Hoping for the best.
Thank you, My Dear for the information... I do appreciate it very much... 🌹
That's a little disconcerting. Strange dogs have always been a little too interested in me. I wondered if they were detecting my undiagnosed cancer. I was walking in the park with my sister. A big dog spotted me and came bounding over. I told my sister the dog would jump on me with dirty paws. But he knocked my down completely into an irrigation channel. I was covered with mud and couldn't stop laughing.
Good Service Dog.
Maybe your doctor doesn't know more about the cancer type. I'm glad you'll be keeping us posted.
I found out that I was referred to a Hemotologist...can someone give me some insight into that feild...
My Service Dog ,Chance has been smelling me all over for a few months now... he is a very large Dog a Golden Pyrenes... weighs about 80lbs.... but very gentle and attentive.... when I am Not doing welll... very protective... he does NOT want anyone near me... he listens well...very smart... and my guess is, that he knew before anyone else did... I have heard about dogs sensing Cancer in their owners before...

Lamento mucho la noticia que recibiste. Hace 20 años también recibí la noticia de cáncer.( de mama) Y 10 años más tarde empecé a sufrir neuropatía periférica de origen aparentemente desconocido,pero que va avanzando y dificulta mi movilidad.Tengo un espasticidad en mis piernas. Pero ningún dolor.Nunca lo tuve. Agradezco inmensamente no sentir el más mínimo dolor Me considero privilegiada aunque mi equilibrio es cada vez menor .Nunca antes del cáncer me había enfermado de nada! Creo que solo
tuve un resfrío fuerte en mi larga vida( tal vez fue gripe?).
Si tuviese que vivir nuevamente ,elegiría mi misma vida. Elegiria feliz una repetición .!
Se que cuando recibís la noticia de cáncer ,el mundo se te viene encima .Seria anormal que no te sintieras mal .
Piensa, aunque sea muy frío lo que te digo, que las estadísticas de éxito en los tratamientos,van en aumento .
Y seguí compartiendo con nosotros tus preocupaciones ;compartirlas alivianar el peso.
Aquí estaremos
