Hello olsonsa and welcome!

I'm sorry I can't help you particularly but I just wanted to say hi and to wish you well with your treatment/recovery. There are lots of wonderful people here with a whole wealth of knowledge, which i'm sure you'll find helpful. With best wishes, Jemima xx

I have read on here that a tennis ball to role your feet on and a foot spa is good for neuropathy. There are some great ladies on here to give advice and support through all the bad stuff and get to the other side and get the good stuff again. The exhaustion is horrendous and all you can do is rest be kind to yourself you have been through a lot. I get bored very easily so resting is not a strong point but I find that I have to listen to my body and do what I can manage. Hope this helps a little 😃

HI olsonosa, you seem to have been through the mill and back. This is a site for Ovarian Cancer, may I suggest you search again and find the site for Rheumatoid Arthritis as that would help you a lot for your ongoing problems. There may well be a site for Bowel Cancer in Health unlocked so I suggest you try that. Perhaps also ask your Oncology Unit for support groups in your area for your type of Cancer. I am indeed sorry I cant be of more help at this this but I wish you well.

Your oncologist has several prescriptions that help with your symptoms, but for the neuropathy check with Bible healing oils and speak with Vicki. A family member says it has really helped him although his neuropathy is caused by something else. I pray over all of you as I view your requests and comments . That is The God of The Bible in Jesus.
