    Hi Debbiel, welcome to the site. Sorry about your neuropathy. Is your oncologist giving you anything to try to help your neuropathy? So you you are a little more than half way finished with radiation. Just make sure to use the creams your doctor recommended and avoid putting them on too close to the time of your raditaiton treatment. Drink lots of water and eat lots of protein for your good cells to rebuild. My radiation oncologist also suggested I use Dove Soap for Sensitive Skin. I made sure to wash that area lightly with my hand (no rag) and lightly pat dry....no rubbing. It also helped to not wear a bra when I didn't need to wear one. Let us know if you have specific questions or if you just want to give more detail about your experiences.

    Welcome to the site. I am sure that you will find this a friendly place to come when you need someone to talk to. We are all in the same boat when it comes to emotions and feelings about our health. Just know that no question is to silly to ask and if you need to vent because you are having a bad day, we are here for you. I hope you find this site as helpful to you as it has been for me.

    There are also subtypes listed on this page to narrow down the type of cancer to match your dx.

    Also, if you can take a few minutes and fill in some details of your journey so far, it will help others as they try to answer questions for you, it also helps others as they search through the data base to find someone like themselves. Confirming your email will allow you to receive updates and notices from the site when someone answers your questions or writes on your wall.
