Hi Janet

Although I had Taxol- I too had the wonderful heartburn you describe... I always started out my morning with a couple of Tums. I had nausea, indigestion and hunger all at the same time. I quit the steroids all together. I felt the steriods in the infusion were enough. That helped quite a bit. Also, I did not eat any acidic foods since they compounded the heartburn. Just mashed potatoes and collard greens...

Beware constipation. The inability to "go" was worse than anything else.

My best goes to you Janet- it sounds like you are doing really well-
Good for you!

Maria
