Stephanie,
No one knows what you're are going through until they go through it themselves. Seven months of chemo with no break is enough to make anyone cry. As for the lump in the breast - usually soft means cyst but best to get it checked as soon as possible.
I had my cervical spine and lumbar spine fused due to herniated discs and since that time suffer permanent neuropathy. Now the chemo I'm on really makes the neuropathy that much worse. My neurologist recommended Glucosamine/Chondroitin Complex. You can buy it over the counter and it comes in pill form. I take one tablet 3 times a day. It's called double strength - Gluocosamine 500mg Chondroitan 400mg. I find that this really helps with the neuropathy.
