  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Blueeyes.

    Well done on getting through those 6 rounds of intensive 7 day treatments although I'm sorry to hear that you now have stage 3 neuropathy. I have found some information on our website about nerve damage here that may be useful but I would recommend giving our cancer nurses a call about this as well. You can chat to them for free on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Many members find the waiting to be the hardest part of the process but if you can stay busy and keep yourself occupied hopefully you'll find the time passes quickly and the day of your scan will arrive before you know it.

    Do come back and let us know how it goes Blueeyes, we'll be thinking of you.

    Kind Regards,
