Re: First TCH treatment - abdominal pain

Dear Vicky,
I had the TCH treatment. I think that what you eat will be very important while on treatment. Are you having yogurt? I would have at least two a day and I think it helped in many ways. Stomach wise and the natural bacteria kept my mouth healthy and free from mouth sores.

Brown rice and steamed veggies ...with chicken will give you the protein you need and the brown rice with veggies will be easy on your tummy and intestinal tract.

Don't lose heart....you already have one treatment down. I remember when I had round 3 I asked myself how will I ever get through to the rest of them? But we do and you will look back on this years from now and have to force yourself to remember each treatment round....I promise that to you. It will fade we don't think so as it happens. But you will be glad that you hit it hard with the TCH treatment.


Keeping you in my prayers for strength and peace of mind.

Best wishes,
Jean
