Colds and Flu
Something went badly wrong with my post - I'm new to this, and it seems most of my text disappeared!! I was bemoaning the fact that I have had two doses of cold/flu this year, the first about 12 mon...
Hi Marg
I start chemo soon but I have to admit I am really worried about my immune system. I have had four head colds all this year and one confirmed case of flu all ending in needing antibiotics and I haven't even started chemo yet! I got my last cold the day of my lumpectomy. To think that not only will the chemo knock me around but that it would take 12 months for it to get back to 'normal' makes me really concerned.
I eat very well - nothing processed, heaps of fruit and veggies with small amounts of chicken and fish, little to no alcohol, and don't smoke. I don't know what else I can do to boost my immune system.
Hope you don't get another cold
All the best
