I also had locked jaw,swollen tongue, couldn't eat solid food for two weeks. The pain was terrible and ended up in hospital. My hands started to peel and bleed so bad i had to wear cotton gloves day and night. My doctor didn't give me Taxotere again and i went back to FEC, last one 4th May. Scan 23rd May and Lumpectomy 19th June. My doctor told me you shouldn't have to suffer bad side effects and they remain long term.Also you need to be fit and well for surgery and in happy mind.<br /><br />I really feel for Cathy as i think she needs a rest from chemo. I took one week off just so i could stop thinking about this Cancer.<br /><br />Hope Cathy feel's better soon<br /><br />AlisonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4384692836709903146.post-36777244204540909502012-04-19T22:17:04.797-07:002012-04-19T22:17:04.797-07:00I think it is great that you are keeping your eye ...I think it is great that you are keeping your eye on the ball and moving forward. I have always felt that Kathy will heal and overcome the cancer (the odds are pretty good for breast cancer) and while the treatments stink, the farm is your balance toward peace and wonderful future. <br /><br />Cancer is just something you are dealing with now, but the farm and your new home is your future.<br /><br />You must deal with the present, but plan for the future and live life during it all. Keep your chins up. I am so very happy for you and your new home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4384692836709903146.post-3860292107095035782012-04-19T19:03:28.155-07:002012-04-19T19:03:28.155-07:00hey john

It is reported to assist some people with pain in their extremities; I think there may be a slight benefit for me since I resumed taking it. It may be a "do no harm" thing to try with the neuropathy (assuming there are no contraindications). <br /><br />I mentioned it once before in the blog, but wasn't using it myself at that time. Since I may have experienced a small benefit since resuming, I figured I would pass it along again.<br /><br />Best of luck with the chickens thing. I grew up around them and they are amusing birds. I once had two pet roosters named "Thundering" and "Herd" and my young daughter had a hen named Gladys.<br /><br />There are times I think about a small urban coop, which is becoming more popular in laid-back Austin.<br /><br />JamesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4384692836709903146.post-47811439136010468282012-04-19T05:18:46.068-07:002012-04-19T05:18:46.068-07:00Thank you for sharing your amazing story with us. ...Thank you for sharing your amazing story with us.
