I thought I would be well by now finished radiotherapy in May still on herceptin had my 8th today. But I am so ill again. I expected too much too soon I think. All I want is to have a normal life look after my kids hubby and house/garden I can't do anything right now. I can't walk or feel my hands. I get sick swollen face acne and rashes. In some ways I wish I had never gone through all this agony only to be left worse. I'm seeing a neurologist to fond extent of my nerve damage. I have been told it's permanent. I don't want to live like this. Basically a cripple. I never knew it could cause lasting damage. I just want this over I see my garden and cry I thought I would be able to do the gardening by now. But it's just going to weed. Hubby does all he can but he's not a gardener. Don't know where to turn. Was refused PIP but reapplying now I can't walk Just want to curl up cry and just die basically. Anyone else experienced this at this late stage?
