Re: Shortness of Breath and so very scared
Hi there,
My feet and Hands hurt all thru treatment and after which they felt it was neuropathy, and I just didn't think it was. Finally stopped after having my Vitamin D checked and was put on a mega dose 50,000 units for 12 weeks of it and Glusocimine recommended by my ONC, so I HIGHLY SUGGEST CHECKING OUT VIT D, B6, AND B12 LEVELS AND TAKING THE GLUSCOMINE. The ONC said it helped a lot of her patients with pain in hands/feet and if no difference in 30 days simply stop taking it. Also, a multi-vitamen with Iron the brand I am using is Advocare for that.... 
You are so young to be going thru such a tough thing.....As Becky said it is a Cluster F*** or another one you could call it is a major freaking goat roping!!!
I am still tired and my emotions are up and down.....But I have read it takes about 2 years to get through all of the treatment and it takes 2 years to get over it too. The cure and the collateral damage is something!!
I feel your pain, and I am sorry.
