35.

Chemo #35. 

In I went. 

Out I got. 

Easy. Quick. 

But I'm worried. I'm actually freaking out. 
I started having numb and tingling fingers, and sometimes toes. It started just before Easter. I thought it was a side effect from chemo. 
By now my pinky and ring finger on my left hand are pretty much tingly/numb 24/7. And 2 days ago I realised I haven't got a lot of strength in my left hand. Not as much as in my right. 
I can't open lilla's skirt buckle with my left. Or at least it feels strangely weak. 

It was ok as long as I thought these are just side effects. 

But today I was told they might not be. There could be more metastasis growing in my neck/upper spine. 
But what I'm really freaked out about is that I worry it is ALS!

My dad passed away on ALS almost 8 years ago. It went really quick. 
He was diagnosed in May, by August he was on a breathing machine unable to move more than his head and in October he let the doctors turn off the life support. 

What if I have develop ALS? On top of the cancer. 

I can hardly breath. 

That would be the worst.
