Today I went to see the hematologist for my two-monthly check-up. He gave me some terrific news. First, the nerve conduction tests all showed that I have no peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage) in either my hands or feet as a result of the chemotherapy. I had been having tingling in my hands but this has resolved and he says we may never know the exact cause but such short-term symptoms which resolve are common after chemotherapy. Then, unexpectedly, he said that not only was the CT scan of my ches looking excellent (they are having trouble even seeing the tumor anymore!), but that an area of damage in my lungs, which they thought was due to the radiation treatment, seems also to have healed somewhat. So now I go to three-monthly check-ups, and I have my last CT scan in September, at one-year anniversary of ending chemotherapy.
