Recovery

Anybody struggling with long term side effects from  treatment.  I am thrilled to be alive and so happy I get to be with my daughter but somedays I am like an old woman. Well,I am at 51 but my back, legs ,feet and whole body hurts and at night my nerves come alive . Has anybody experienced nerve damage in their hands feet and lower back? I think doxataxel got me badly .

  • Hello Pudding

    I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling with long term side effects from your treatment.

    I'm sure that you won't be the only member here who is dealing with these kinds of problems and hopefully, some of the other members will pop along to share their experiences and support with you. 

    I wonder I you might find it helpful to have a chat with one of our team of nurses. It may be that they are able to offer you some advice about managing things. If you'd like to speak to them they're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    I hope that over the coming weeks and months that things continue to settle and that the side effects improve. 

    Best wishes,
