Yeah, so I had my last chemo treatment a week ago, but my fingers are worse than ever, as far as the numbness and tingling go. The oncologist DID say that effects are at their worst about a week or so after treatment, so I guess I was warned.
But this is crazy -- I keep dropping things and knocking over things, sometimes spilling drinks all over (like yesterday!), and tonight I was trying to open a bag of cat food and man, it was hard to do! (But I did it.)
But things will get better, I'm sure, it will just take time (sigh) ... Probably about a month or so (ALL-CAP SIGH) ... But, hey, I've come this far so I'll make it!
So, thanks for checking on me. And thanks for listening ....
Until next time ...

That's what I'm calling this cancer "mis-adventure." Please come along with me as I go through treatment.

Please be very careful -- you could hurt yourself and not even realize it when your extremeties are numb. Sorry to hear you are having a difficult time. Would it help to leave your glass on the table and use a straw to drink?
Good idea, Michelle -- does that work with RED WINE??? See you Sunday!
Of course, you've always been a little bit klutzy ... :-)
And we'll see if it does work with red wine on movie night (I'll bring the bottle).
