Re: Physicians have new resource for managing disease in patients with early-stage br
I can imagine how wiped out you are. That is why I suggested stopping at 4 or 5 of the TC. You might want to consider a dose reduction for the final chemo.
Contrary to popular opinion, the side effects of chemo do not all cease shortly after taxotere, some last a lifetime. How bad are your symptoms? What do you mean your bones are tired? Is this fatigue, or is it low blood counts from chemo? How is your cognitive function doing?
Quality of life gets much better when you only do Herceptin! Almost there . . . yeah for you!
Drink plenty of water. Get as much exercise as you can tolerate. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables of every color, including the dark greens.
Take Vitamin D supplements. I had a terrible fatigue and brain fog after surgery and discovered by accident that Selenium supplements resolved it significantly.
