Larry Hursh shares his inspiring rehabilitation story after going through several steps of chemotherapy. "I had to follow a three step chemotherapy program as a preventative measure. Step one went very well with no discomfort or noticeable side effects. During the second step, I experienced increasing pain in my legs and some neuropathy in my hands and feet. Shortly after completing this stage of treatment, the pain was very high and I had trouble standing by myself. My wife agreed to take me to emergency room for help and evaluation. They found a combination of pain killers that corrected the pain problem. However, the neuropathy and muscle weakness were significant and they recommended that I be discharged to a rehabilitation center for therapy to address these problems."
