Unrefined Organic Coconut Oil

Hi Tanya,

I wish you well for the surgery!  Do you have someone to take you there the day of the surgery?   you will need someone as you have to go to Women’s Imaging in Moonah for what is called “hook wire placement” so it is better that you get someone to drive you there. Also before that you have to have dye injected at the RHH.

How is your RBC ( I looked at your blog)  I had the same problem as you and had to have a blood transfusion as I could not breathe…..it was actually quite horrible (developed anaemia) and still it took a while after the trans for my RBC to go up! Make sure you check your RBC before Radiation therapy if it is is too low they won’t do it.  I had to wait an extra 2 weeks. 

I completely sympathize with you about the way you feel after chemo…..I had terrible side effects after each treatment and was not really  in a good way when I started  RT. Thing is there are women who go to RT and then go to work afterwards!  I take my hat off to them “Bravo”

Re: post RT still feeling fatigued….some days are good, some not.  I feel it is an individual thing. I hope that you are someone who wears it well:) To be honest Tanya….RT was a walk in the park compared to chemo!

Post RT, I take Zinc, magnesium, Vit B….just to give the ole immune system a boost!

After surgery, use coconut oil as it will help with scarring.
