Cancer tip 49 – Okay serious big boy stuff. I read somewhere
that the number one reason people quit chemo treatment is neuropathy. It’s not
puking, it’s not hair loss, it’s not feeling lousy; it’s the discomfort people
feel from neuropathy. So the tip I guess is to know what the symptoms of
neuropathy are and realize that a bunch of it will dissipate after chemo is
over. Admittedly it can take years (I still have an episode every now and
then), but it’s important to know when you make decisions about tour cancer
journey. It would sure be sad to make a life threatening permanent decision to
a somewhat temporary problem.
