Worried
I am very worried. The oncologist just called and I still have the infection in my intestines - another 2 weeks of meds and no chemo and a test next week to see if it is better.
Apparently, Ixempra has been unkind to my body as with many others I've read about on this site.
The good news is that he is calling my oncologist in Chicago to see if there is perhaps something else that can be offered and/or be as or more effective.
I'm having a hard time staying positive of course, but I'm trying hard.
I could also use more info about the helpful diet as I have read items here and there on this site. If someone would like to email me some good solid info I would appreciate it.
Thanks for reading my post.
