    Lulu thank you

    Lulu thank you for the advice and information  I had my port put in 6 days ago so I imagine I will be hearing from the chemo Dr soon.did you have any problems  with neuropathy? Thank you for the prayer 

    Neuropathy

    Thankfully I didn't have any symptoms until the sixth cycle and even then it was only in my toes and the ball of my foot. It has improved ( I am now 6 months post last cycle) but I still have some numbness in my toes. Sort of feels like my toes are cold. I don't have pain and never did just some numbness that I can live with. 

    All the best ...hopefully they will reach out to you soon. I would even call your doc to find out where there are with your chemo schedule just to help move things along.  They can use your port now. Infact I had my port put in on a Wednesday and Friday they did my first cycle. xo
