The very best of Irish luck to you, let me know how you get on

Hi,

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I do not have cancer and never have had it or any type of chemo. I certainly hope I never have to deal with it. I do know a lot of people around my area dealing with cancer in one way or the other for the first and second time. Vincristine and the like are something a CMTer with CMT1A would never want to take.

I knew a guy, general population in my area, who had cancer and they gave him Vincristine. He did get numb, PN, etc. and had to get off of it. It was awful for him. He eventually died.

There are so very many kinds of chemo. Some people feel great, never lose their hair, etc. For others it can be brutal.
