I am all done with treatment for a few years now, was diagnosed stage 4 in nov 2019, started chemo in feb 2020, went into remission in july of 2021, and all good since then except for some polyps last year, and the frigging neuropathy
now, I have to get a full pet scan every six months and meet with oncologist, who I am not going to change now, way to much history and he comes highly recomended just not my personality match
over the whole ordeal had 7 surgeries on mid section so shouldn't complain, I am alive and cancer free
my first goal is to go 20 years, lol
my oncologist is kind of over the neuropathy issue with me, met with him six weeks ago and kind of laid it on the table with him,
Hey, did everything you asked, was patient, positive and gracious and thankful and you can't tell me you haven't addressed this neuropathy issue before, you been doing this 30 years........what's up........outcome was basically not that he didn't care, reality he didn't know and not the type of doctor who goes deeper on certain issues, which i am fine with it's like should of told me this 2-3 years ago, you knew i could deal with it
with this help i got to do some more research and find the right guy who i am pretty sure I know, hadn't seen him in 20 years, he is a brilliant physiatrist, lifter, and helped at my worst last time
