Hi Toni, There are two things that have really helped me. The first is the cold cap, which is available at the Mater hospital at Crows Nest in Sydney, I believe it is available in Adelaide as well. I have still retained all of my hair even after two sessions of chemo, I have two sessions to go. There is a minor amount of discomfort for a minute or two, when they change the cap,(which is changed every half hour) but that is better than losing your hair. I am in NIB and it is all covered by them.
The second is a product called Ribraxx. I have been taking it for three months now, I purchased it through a Naturepath. I have hardly noticed the symptoms of chemo, within a day or two, I feel completely normal again. No nausea, no mouth problems, no nothing.My appetite does'nt change, in fact I was out at a restaurant eating Indian two days after my first chemo. My friends and family are amazed, when they see me. I feel Ribraxx has saved me.
I hope this information will help you or anyone else reading this.
Good luck and best wishes.
Judy.
