I’ve written about chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy before, but now it’s in full force. Both of my feet are numb and my fingers often have trouble with fine tasks. I’m very much hoping this goes away someday but one of the side effects of KADCYLA is numbness. The two chemotherapy medications I had before, Carboplatin and Taxotere, are also reasons for this, so at this point it’s just compounding. Next dose of KADCYLA is August 8th.
I am to begin radiation sooner than I originally thought. They will do the CT simulation to set me up on Monday, August 12th and then I’ll start my first session on Monday, August 19th. It is daily, Monday-Friday for 6 weeks. It will be good to get another part of my treatment started. This site from Mayo Clinic is a great overview of radiation.
I will need to hold my breath at times during treatment to get my heart and lungs out of the way.
I keep reminding myself:
