Chemo Side Effects

One time I did say, I'm being monitored :) by the best in the business.

Take their comments with a grain of salt. I had one neighbor who said to me ( oh lovey it could be all through you). Really! ! Saying that to someone who just been diagnosed. I laughed myself stupid at that comment after she was gone.

Hmmm well, you just say, Surgery was successful and Chemo is to make sure there is no cells hiding. :) People do mean well, but they just don't know or understand. We all get these sorts of comments, it can be exhausting, half the time I didnt answer because I was speechless LOL. Bit like when someone would say to me "OH So Sorry youve had a recurrence, gee twice!!! but youre in remission now??" WTF!!!! Ummm no I would say Cancer has gone thanks to surgery, chemo is to make sure, I dont say remission ever, call me funny a play on words, but if I say to myself remission it gives it permision..SO .I always say its gone :) xx 

So I'm over people saying (they mean well I suppose) but they say "So how many treatments have you had! How do you know if it working yet" - this just makes me so anxious and upset. How do you guys handle this? X

Thanks gang xxx

My Oncologist ok'd me to take these supplements while going through AC and now Taxol treatments. Multi Vitamin ( which I always took ) Vitamin D, Co Enzyme Q10  and Magnesium. I would never take anything without checking that it is ok first though. 

With any vitamins or supplements especially through Chemo, make sure you check with your Oncologist, they should be ok. I didnt do any supplements until after Chemo was completed. Vitamin D is the No. 1 recommended. I do magnesium as thats incredibly important as that services over 300 enzymes in the body on a cell level. :) Melinda xo

My local health food shop said take one before bed and may help with being regular. I need o take the coloxyl during and a few days after chemo then all good. Trying all kinds of combinations atm 

I just know i did the AC, would have to dig out my notes.  Never thought of a probiotic, would that help?. What about a good protein powder to boost muscle strength and immunity?
Apparently i could have AC, maybe onco being kind to me...handle AC well 17 years ago, will also be doing taxol which didn't do last time.
I've been having a lemon juice, olive oil, water concoction for a few years and that sems to help with bowels etc...
Holy crap this cancer shit, makes you take stock of your body and analyze everything you do and take.

Thanks Guys. Dragged myself on my horse for a trail ride with some good friends this morning even though I had a bit of nausea. One of my friends is a vet nurse. I overheard her talking about her vet clinic and just about every injured or sick cat and dog goes on dex and says it's their no. 1 treatment for most cases. Interesting. All I could imagine were dogs and cats doing backflips from the high - lol haha. Wonder if they got a red face and thumping heart like me before my Dr reduced it.
Thanks Mel, the Ativan, coloxyl and maxolon I'm taking sheepishly.
Helping a little now. All new to my system. Heartburn way better with 1 acimax morning and night. And a probiotic before bed. Morning I'm having a B12 and Vit E and/or berrocca with my porridge. Tweaking as I'm going. No period since first round so that must be all over - well that could be a blessing not that it was a problem before.
