I did'nt ask for anything during chemo but wish I had as I developed a hiatal hernia and extreme reflux after tx which I was told was damage to the esophagus from the drugs.
I was advised to take a daily nexium which I still do and feel this has worked for me. I haven't actually tried to stop taking it as yet but may have to continue on it, only time will tell.
I was advised had I taken this during my tx it would have reduced the damage.
