Fasting pre, during, post chemo

[TanyaRD]

Thick--I'll be interested to see how this works for you. You are very dedicated. I have not tried this with any of my patients and would be very nervous to do so. What if someone has weekly treatments (ie 3 weeks on 1 week off)? Seems as though they would be fasting more than eating. I would just encourage you to be sure you get adequate protein when not fasting as you have several days without protein intake. Also, adequate hydration is known to minimize side effects of treatment so be sure to be very well hydrated while fasting. Keep open communication with your MO too...sounds like you do that already.

Best wishes
