I start EC next week and was wondering if it’s worth wearing ice mittens to stop damage to my nails? And neuropathy
Hi UmmVom and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
The online community is divided into different support forums where you can connect directly with others who have the same type of cancer and will probably have the same type of treatment as you. As you haven't said what type of cancer you have I can't give you a link to the right forum yet. You can either reply telling me the type of cancer you have or look through this list to choose the appropriate one for you.
Once you've joined the forum, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
It would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
