I have tried so hard to keep a smiling face and be positive and not complain too much (I think haha). But about 3 weeks ago I noticed my feet were really bothering me. I chalked it off at first at doing too much and being on my feet all day, but it continued to get worse. I went to the oncologist and shared my concerns. It had to be either I was just too out of shape and had gained too much weight, or worse, that I had developed neuropathy 8 weeks after chemo ended. He laughed and said it was funny that I had decided these were the only 2 possible choices. He did unfortunately confirm that it was likely neuropathy and so I am taking what seems to me like heavy doses of gabapentin which combined with hot soaks, local creams and now compression hose have finally started to ease the pain. Mostly I have just decided to accept that I will have pain most of the time, some days better than others and I am being optimistic that this is just a blip in the road and this will resolve on its own. Overall I know that my journey has been easier on me than so many other people with cancer, so I will continue to smile and accept that this is all part of the process.
