I’ve been an athlete most of my life which helped me recover from cancer so I’m still strong but I’ve lost balance and my aerobic function is way down from inactivity. I struggle to walk more than 2 blocks these days and also have depression due to this. I’m getting help for the depression but have found it difficult to get support for the neuropathy. I want to know how everyone copes with this, strategies for dealing with it and would like to ,she friends too. Thanks in advance for whatever support is here. I do appreciate it as if felt very alone with this condition.

Hey Marc,
Welcome to the forum. I recently came across a guy that had chemotherapy and described a loss of mobility to the extent that his "legs did not work due to nerve damage" He went through several sessions of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and he pretty much fully recovered at least in terms of my perception of his mobility. Have you any experience of an Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber?
Welcome again,
