Glad you are doing better, hope today wasn’t awful. One of the nurses advised me “ just don’t panic when you feel symptoms, it makes it worse.”

I was also calmer and prepared to NOT panic no matter what. Did get the speech defect (lateral 'S' lisp) yesterday and some numbing in the lips today - this is new. Cold sensitivity in hands, but overall much less. Kudos to you for hanging in there at the job - inspiration! Hot chocolate sounds wonderful ....

I had never felt anything like that before, wasn’t even sure if it was nausea or some other appetite suppression. But it wasn’t fun. I got my Oxi reduced in round six to 50% due to neuropathy in my feet and it was much better.

Did you have a Pathological Complete Response with surgery?
