Sorry for the delay in updating this. I've been sleeping so much I forgot about it actually.
Ok, the tingling and numbness in my toes and feet is a side effect of the Taxotere, which is one of the two chemo meds I was getting (oh wow....I said WAS!!!!).
I talked with Tracy, Dr. Hammond's nurse and she advised that the side effects should wear off altogether within 6 to 8 weeks. So, because she was not alarmed, I am not alarmed and instead will just go with the flow as I have been. Today I started experiencing similar tingling in my left hand and forearm. No....not a heart attack people.....lol
Let's see....what else? Oh yes, I have a follow with Dr. Hammond on June 10th. I'll have lab work done to check my blood counts and consult with Dr. Hammond and find out what my next steps are.
Thanks again to all of you for your kindness and support. It has helped me tremendously through a long journey that has gone by very quickly.
Love, Doris
