Hi ,I had lung cancer 2015 which was treated surgery and chemo but it still spread to my brain in 2017 as a small tumour ,which was blasted with one high dose of stereotactic radiotherapy in May2017 ,3months later I developed a left lower leg weakness ,thought to be caused by oedema and scar tissue I seem to have been on dexamethasone for ever .
Now there are improvements as the oedema has reduced and the dexamethasone now only a tiny dose gradually coming off it in the next two weeks hooray .I am getting little bits of feeling returning to my left lower leg .In all honesty I never thought this would improve and now I am feeling much more hopeful for my future after having some very despondent days .I just wanted to share my story ,lately I have been walking with just a stick and I have cautiously recommenced swimming something I never thought I could do again .For the moment I am in a lovely place it may not last ,but I am enjoying it whilst it is here ,so don't give up out there if life is challenging as things may improve .Diane
