Neuropathy Help

At the Conquer Cancer Run.... survivors can share encouragement and important information.

For example... how to deal with lasting side effects from chemotherapy such as neuropathy in the feet and hands.

Kelly Reese is like a lot of us... who find walking and running more challenging after chemo.

Neuropathy is a painful numbness.

But she is finding a way to battle it with physical therapy.

Kelly Reese says, " It was hard to walk I got to the point where I was limping and if I got up out of bed that's when it was the worst I found myself holding onto furniture."

There is hope... after a lot of research Kelly found physical therapy helps.
