by Aquarius Dawn Nancy aka Nancy Francois

Me (AQDN) : " What is Peripheral Neuropathy? Asking for my Haitian father who had Chemotherapy for Prostate Cancer about three years ago."

Answer: Refered to Cancer.org by a woman named Debby in a Closed group on Facebook, a platform I do not care for. The group I just joined a day ago is called Prostate Cancer Caregivers Group. Really not loolking to be linked online just want to help another reading to get approval in. I went to Cancer dot org and clicked hypertext question, exactly worded question I asked above. Here is soome of what it said about my dads situation:

      "Peripheral neuropathy is a set of symptoms caused by damage to the nerves
        that are away from the brain and spinal cord." - Cancer.org Source

At the link embeded in the domain of organization in bold I was refered to, symptoms similar to what my dad described were listed. He said he feels sensations mentioned. There are natural remedies like cocnut butter and menthol. Wonder if they tried it? Will mention it to him next time I see him. I just know I suggest they stay on top of Dust Mites, Mosquitos, and actual insects biting him too. So hope lotions he makes and or exercise like Yoga I do helps. Currently doing core strengthening Yoga poses.

So great, maybe if well shared online of this, may a group he can attend will help him feel comfortable trying other remedies.

Sometimes what works for you may or may not work for another. Yet, linking up online may help him too. We shall see if this helps. Hope no interference in my trying to be there in my way with him. Hard when some will make snide remarks to be heard. Not all do things for recognition. Reasons I monitor when best to visit. He and I. When I get a car we can go out God willing he be healthy by then. Much we can catch up on and mend respectfully among us. I would love that. My mom and I have had that but being a Daddy's Girl, it is a different connection. I look for men like my dad in his good qualities and found them. Some with flaws to match but that bond is not easily explained but Daddy's Girls and their father's get it.

Just let one be there without a peep!

He is my daddy!
