Hi Estelle my name is also Estelle. I am just starting the recovery road. Completed 6 rounds of chemo. Preparing for surgery next month. Opted for double mastectomy. I too have peripheral neuropathy in my hands wasvhopin that would subside. Your story was very inspirational for me and you have a great name! I am doing the Avon 39 walk in Setember!

Hi Estelle -- eefreeman99! Its really unusual to meet someone with our name! I wish you all the best! Walking the Avon is a good way to stay motivated, and when needed, distracted. You will meet many warriors and really feel empowered by so many strong women! My walk is in May - started training last week. I will check back from time to time to see how you are doing. Re neuropathy -- don't know where you are located but there are several clinical trials. I wasn't successful but some seem to work better when done closer in time to when the nerves were damaged. My first treatments were some years after I finished taxol. If you go to clinical trial.gov, and put in CIPN (chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy), you will get a list of trials and you may find something that works for you. Good luck!Hi Estelle -- Its really unusual to meet someone with my name! I wish you all the best! Walking the Avon is a good way to stay motivated, and when needed, distracted.
