there. My name is Fran from Ireland. I recently have had a recurrence of ovarian cancer stage 4 clear cell after a wonderful cancer free time of 12 years. I know I’ve been very lucky
on chemo at the moment. I was wondering if any of you ladies have been affected by violent shaking in the legs which if I don’t sit down will lead to me falling. I have had all ct scans and mris and pet scans to no avail. My team is totally baffled. My scenario is as follows -
This happens spontaneously particularly when I’m away from the house. When I get up from a sitting after about 4 steps my legs start shaking increasing in intensity until I sit when goes away very quickly
this has me afraid to go out. Please help. Fran
