Re: Fasting pre, during, post chemo
Just did my second cycle of taxotere and carboplatin. Fasted for 3 days prior, day of and one day after. Some tiredness, a little upset stomach, but otherwise fine. Have continued to go to gym daily, walk two mile to work and then work 8 hours. Feeling good enough about this that I plan to fast for cycle three on June 21.
Chay - who posted above - has links to a lot of fasting related articles on his blog.
