Robin Gibb Has To Learn To Walk Again - Comments and Message Board

As a cancer patient it happened to me- complications from chemo, lowers the immune system, infections, complicated liver. The neuropathy in the legs and feet and weakness is bad and food is just hard to eat, mouth gets sores - and the digestive system is bad enough without his surgical problems. I was sent home with a walker and it was my best buddy for a couple months - it was a frigging challenge to turn over in bed.- a little forced physical therapy and he will get better. A diet of dairy is good - builds muscle fast and tastes good. Toasted cheese sand and tomatoe soup was the 1st thing I liked. Puddings are great. It's really hard to eat.. I do empathize with Robin - it's a rotten thing to find yourself in. "Hope is a thing with feathers" by Emily Dickinson really makes absolute sense to me looking at this time. God is helping You Robinand you WILL get stronger - this too shall pass. But the lack of feeling in the legs and feet? Sticks around forever - you will still walk ~ one foot in front of the other. He's fortunate to have come through this far but he has just to take it easy from now on out. tough and long recovery. I hate cancer - we need CURES. Chemo is bull. So hard on the body.
