Has anyone else out there who’s been through 35 radiation and 3 chemotherapy hits (cisplatin) had any issues with numbing, tingling (pins & needles) aching , burning and sharp pains in their arms. I went to my GP and he says it’s a side effect of my cancer treatment.. some get it during and others get it after either days, weeks or months after treatment and he called it Chemotherapy induced Peripheral Nueropathy and said it could be permanent or may get better over months or years. If anyone has this or knows anything about this could you please help me with information. Thank you in advance 😊 ... View more

Hi I’m 5 months post treatment for Base of tongue cancer that had spread to 3 lymph nodes in my right neck. I still have thick mucus, not much taste ( everything tastes terrible) I can’t eat bread, pastries or anything claggy without having water on hand.

I would appreciate if anyone has any information for me about this that I can read  ... View more
