I had 6 rounds of chemo and I am happily cancer free for 3 months now. :) Yeah me!!! ;) God has been so good to me. Just wanted to see if you've checked out the book "Crazy Sexy Diet"??? It's written by a girl that has a slow growing, incurable, untreatable cancer that she's controlled for 10 years with her diet changes. Her book is written in a fun way but really focuses on what the optimum nutrition is that can control cancer growth. Also, The China Study is wonderful. Just in case you are into reading about this stuff.... The crazy sexy diet really changed my eating habits... All the best to you.... xoxoxoxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27478282.post-47945118941947993082012-01-04T10:36:10.278-08:002012-01-04T10:36:10.278-08:00Hi Leslie,

I only follow my docs' suggestions, but hope the chia seeds work for you.<br /><br />I don't always listen to music while getting chemo, but try to have friends visit. I use the ear buds that came with my iPod.<br /><br />All the best,<br />JillJill Cohenhttp://www.jillscancerjourney.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27478282.post-83653238513965162432012-01-04T08:35:36.071-08:002012-01-04T08:35:36.071-08:00Jill, It is great to see how hard you are working ...Jill, It is great to see how hard you are working to heal your nueropothy. Way to go. I too suffer from it in my right are and my feet because of the cancer in my bone and the stupid taxol. The doc may give me a taxol break after my next pet scan sometime this month, but I would still be on Avastin. But having treatment once a month is better than 3 weeks in a row. <br />I have a couple of questions and a suggestion for you. First question is - What suppliments do you take to fight the neuropothy? The second question is ' what type of headphones do you use to cancel noise while having chemo? My headphones went awal on the move from Tx to Colo. I have been looking for them since Oct. Everything is unpacked, so I can only assume I lost them. <br />Oh and the suggestion is to try sprinkling a tbsp of chia (yes chia) seeds on your food through out the day. Either all at once in oatmeal in the morning (yum) or a tspn hear and there. They increase your protein and your roughage. I've shared with you in the past that I eat vegetarian. My protein really really dropped in my blood work and using these seeds daily brought up to normal and helps me feel full and just better.leslie bowlushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12200773474710513956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27478282.post-46369143598724907532012-01-03T20:16:32.697-08:002012-01-03T20:16:32.697-08:00I have replaced the sugar in my diet (well, mostly...I have replaced the sugar in my diet (well, mostly, I still am a chocaholic) with stevia. It's been over a year and it works pretty well. You might want to give it a try.Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04106509739560425416noreply@blogger.com
