I've been taken off Oxaliplatin and now on a reduced dose of capecitabine, side effects being the reason.
My feet and legs up to my knees are numb and with "pins and needles" and it also effects my hands. My consultant is very non committal but I'm assuming it's permanent. I don't ask probing questions, I'd rather just take every day as it comes. My best friend of 50 years was told he had 6 months to live and lasted for a further 7 years. Can't be bothered to ask as I know the consultant doesn't know and it would put him in an awkward position.
Just taken delivery of a Beurer heat pad today on which I've placed my feet whilst I'm sitting watching an old British film - bliss! This after just coming back from a very pleasant walk of 2 miles with doggy in the sun. I was going to buy an electric bike but I'm slowly getting weaker do not sure it's a good idea. However; I've got a number of things to look forward to, the main thing being my daughter is due to give birth in 2 weeks.
