I had Chemotherapy after being diagnosed with cancer of the bowel in 2010, I was diagnosed with Raynauds 2013 and Crest Syndrome 2014 . Yes I do believe it has something to do with the Chemotherapy but have to say without the chemo I would not be here today .

Hope you are doing ok,take care

Stay strong and keep smiling my daily Moto is "there is always someone worse off '
