Hi everyone -
I think Rob may finally be joining us for some of his own questions... who knows, but that's what he's telling me.
In the meantime - he is having two leftover side effects: his feet are absolutely killing him, and the skin on his legs is so sensitive it hurts to scratch or touch.
We know the hands and feet seem to worsen 3 to 5 months post chemo, which is exactly where we are right now, but the pain in his feet really impedes him from having to walk around for more than just a little at a time. He's in constant pain. I've read other posts describing similiar feelings with that, so we know its common but not to what extent.
But anyone experience severe skin sensitivity, localized? His is just on his legs. We're baffled. Unless it is from all the fluid build up, which then released and took away his muscle tone. But I'm just grasping at straws.
