    I also have a degree of neuropathy in my hands and feet, especially when I wake up in the morning. It's definitely an issue but if you told me you could probably cure my cancer if I was willing to live with numbness in my hands and feet, I'd gamble and choose the chemo all over again. It's so good to be alive!
