"Excellent" Prognosis for left hand..

I'm feeling pretty bad from all this chemo in my system. Good news is
I am done for today and tomorrow is the last day. I should get out
Friday.

I just had 2 neurologists and 4 students come to my room. The doc said
I have an "excellent" prognosis for full recovery of my left hand. He
said the average time is 1 inch for every month. Since the pic line
was placed near my bicep, he's thinking it will realistically take
9-10 months to get full feeling back. They said that they can give me
medicine for it but the side effects are not good so I am probably
better to just ride it out unless I start experiencing pain.

I have no appetite at this point...
