I'll learn more about this, but apparently only one drug, the Taxol is actually "chemo". The Taxol is what I'll do every Friday. The other two are medications in liquid form. They still have their side effects, like any medication, but maybe they won't be so hard on my body. I'm having hot flashes tonight, that must be one of them.
Geri T. drove me to my appointment and stayed with me and talked for a few hours. I was so grateful for that! I had another friend, Marie, offer to leave work at lunch time and come sit with me and take me home. Marie is one of my cancer buddies. She's inspired me in many ways!
I took a nausea pill in the car on the way home. I don't remember having a lot of nausea when I did Taxol last time, but just wanted to take it as a precaution. And as luck would have it, I feel good tonight!

I'm glad to see you are doing this. I am too. Celery, Carrots and Beets plus sometimes ginger, every morning. I talked to a gal at my new oncologist's office the other day, another patient, and she said when she is eating no sugar, very little grain, no animal protein (meet and dairy) and juicing every day her tumor markers consistently go down. When she gets sloppy they start climbing again.
I'm working on the animal protein right now. I'm trying different plant based recipes.
I can't stand the celery in it, but everything else works for me! The celery has some great compounds in it, wish I could stand the taste. I'm glad to know it's making a difference for you and your friend! I eat vegan most meals, very rare animal protein, drink tons of water, take lots of vitamin c (8-10 GRAMS a day), an assortment of minerals, and take essential oils internally. I really think it's making a difference!
