Geez you think Maxolon would be okay! Lol I have an unopened bottle in fridge ...was getting bad heartburn in the first week and just chewing what I had avail. Chemist talked me into Maxolon instead. I'm not sure re chemo as the prob as with weird side effects like fluttery heart, stomach pain, heartburn, hiccups!, rash on chest, sore throat, mouth red spots and fur, weak arms, shallow breathing and joint/back pain plus low temps of approx 35-36 - all appeared 5 mins after steroids taken and lasted about 2 hours. Joint pain went on longer. I didn't ask the nurse this but was wondering if I will be feeling fine like I am now after the first nasty week throughout the entire 18 week treatment. Or does the chemo accumulate or whatever and you feel progressively worse before it's over?
