Went to the doc today and because of the lingering pain in my feet and ankles. I will be skipping Monday's treatment. The doc is concerned that the Taxotere may be causing permenent nerve damage in my feet. If it is better by Sept. 8 we will scedule Chemo. If not I stop Chemo and move on to Radiation. Pretty scary. While I certainly don't want another round of Chemo, I hope that is the outcome! I hate to think I am going to continue feeling this way!

    I know how you feel.
    I have nerve damage from diabetes and made worse by chemo. I have to admit that it is something that changes my everyday life..but maybe worth it.....I don't know. I am on some new drugs..so will let you know if they help. Good luck with whatever happens. Thinking of you.

    Hi Elm
    I hope it gets better Elm. Let us know how you are doing with it. You will do fine with rads! Just always grease up with the creams and rest.

    I am sorry to hear about the potential nerve damage and hope that it clears up. If you can continue my prayers will be with you and they will be with you during your rads. Remember squeeze the tube, lube the boob (or boob area) and you will do fine.
