Re: Our Experiment Fasting Around Chemo
Hi, Thanks for that post. It was very interesting and challenging. If you are following up those 2013 trials, please post again if you find out how they went.
I've only just started my TCH therapy, unfortunately with some marked side effects to my gut (diarrhea with anorectal ulceration) by Day 6 and hospital admission on Day 7with febrile neutropenia. I now qualify under the Australian health system for a Neulasta white cell boosting injection so that last bit shouldn't happen again.
I think you were amazing to do that fasting, especially doing it together. I don't know if I am prepared for that extent of fasting. I feel nauseous and faint if I miss a meal, but I am thinking of restricting calories in the hope of reducing the gut effects.
Hope you are both going strong.
