Herceptin and I.V. Vitamin C

Hi, I've had three I.V. Vitamin C treatments so far.  I think they are called Meyers treaments?  Don't quote me.  I was suppose to go today, but cancelled for next week.  I'm not sure if I am getting any benefit from it.  My hair is not where I want it yet, but I am only 11 weeks post chemo.  Some days, I think it looks like it's coming in good, and other days not.  I feel less dehydrated I would say, prob from the Vit C I.V.  I did ask my Oncologist what he thought about it, and he said he doesn't advise but ultimately it was up to me.  My naturopath again, does it with other patients.  As I said, I am going to do another next week, I was getting hesitant of doing it.  I sure don't want to take away the Herceptins effectiveness.  I've heard it is controversial.  I am not a doctor but since my BC did not hit my lymphnodes.... and it was low to come back even before my chemo, I just think this may be beneficial.

Violetkali glad you are doing well.  So you discontinued chemo?  Of course that was about 3 years ago?  How many treatments did you get in before you stopped?  You are a Stage1 like me.  I nearly quit mine a few times.  I did not have any side effects that were as bad as yours though, except the hair loss.  That and the dry dry skin is what almost made me quit it.  My hair is getting fuller every week but it looks like a really short buzz cut.  My eyebrows did grow back the same as before, maybe thicker but my eyelashes are short, where as they use to be long.  I think they still may be and they are just still growing back?  Not sure. 

Hi VioletKali, did you mean you discontinued Vit C I.V. or your chemo?  My hair has grown back, thick enough, it just needs length now.  I think the Vit C IV and Rogaine and Nioxin all contributed to it coming back properly and as quick.  5 1/2 months, not sure that may be slow to some ppl.
