I was diagnosed with colon cancer roughly four years ago. Went through radiation, surgery and chemo. In a follow-up meeting my surgeon pointed out a tremor in my left hand and said I should have it checked out. Took quite a while to get a neurologist appointment but -- bingo -- I was diagnosed with Parkinsons. Two years later no sign of cancer but, of course, the PD carries on...

I'm sorry. Life is such a struggle. I have PD and my husband is about to undergo his 4th surgery for sever Ulcerative Colitis. We are both under 40 and have to a 3&5yr old. Thankfully I'm still good at counting my blessings.

Hang in there...

I think I read of others developing PD after chemo. If so, maybe something else can be done to heal?

[Woolysock in reply to NRyan]

I thought the timing was odd but the docs just shrug...

I would assume the PD is brought on by the chemo and fight back with nutrition! People have recovered from PD after chemical exposure. Not cured, recovered (symptom-free).
