Re: Fasting pre, during, post chemo
Thanks Tanya!
I have no point of comparison, but since chemo on Friday and lying low over the weekend, I've been working out and walking to work each day since. Can't say I feel great, but each day I feel a little better and certainly better than I expected.
The weight loss/protein thing is major and I'm working hard to eat as much excellent, high-quality food as possible. Haven't completely figured out how to do this yet but working at it.
Based on my experience and limited side effects, I'm inclined to do this again next cycle. It's five days out of each 21. If I drop too much weight I'll think again.
I've been trying to drink 3-4 quarts daily so am definitely well-hydrated.
