Don't wanna go!!!

4thefather

I had this last week of from my Taxol treatments because I had been anemic for about a month. At first I was disappointed because I have 6 to go out of 12 and just wanted to keep going. This week was SO good because I felt great, slept well, had no side effects from chemo! Now I don't wanna go back!!!! I LOVE feeling good. I haven't felt this good since before all of this started. Do I have to go???

Sorry, Cathie - but you gotta do it.  I know how horrible it is and what tough medicine chemo is!  But it's your best chance to beat this disease and get back to living your life.  Did you try taking iron supplements?  20 mgs/daily really helped me with the anemia - also lots of meat, spinach and eggs.

Good luck.

Well, if you insist! I don't take iron, but someone gave me a bottle of Mona Vie. It is like a fruit juice drink that is supposed to help you produce more red blood cells. It seems to be working.

You got to do everything you can to kick this cancer butt, I have heard eating lots of broccoli helps with anemia also and maybe take 1 iron pill a day.  We do insist that you get those treatments and come here for support and caring any time.  We do want to help you.
