I'm going to try it as o too recommended for my lie magnesium.. Will give anything a try if it's safe to do so 😍😍
Hi im gona get some will see if works ... i thought my white cells could be low as last couple days had headaches.. felt bit more tired but i put it down to work and weather..
Maybe you should try and stay out of work if you can and regain your energy, I couldnt work during my treatments as I would be in contact with the public and felt it was the right thing for me, But I accept we are all different and have different ideas
I don't know about coconut water but the drug neupogen was given to me when my white blood cells got too low. I might get an injection every day for 3 days, retest my blood, and then proceed with the chemo. It goes by other names as well. Good luck and kind regards, Nesie237
I wasn't offered anything apparentley my bloods were low when i saw consultant on wed but they never said..... as i'd had them done for my chemo yesterday why chemo nurse asked if anybody had rang me but they had'nt so when i go for chemo and have bloods done again there lower so chemo cancelled but not told how to help myself get them back up just see you nxt friday for trying of chemo again so im at a loss really xxx
I was just saying that was my experience. That's the way it's done at my center. It will work for you, you'll have more time to feel better. Best of luck, Nesie 237
I'm in this position too. My last chemo is scheduled for Tuesday (yay)! But I was told my red blood count is borderline and my white count is very low. Unless it improves they won't do the chemo. More blood tests on Tuesday and we'll see. I was clueless how to improve the cell count and very grateful you posted about coconut water. I'll give it a go.
Yesterday I ate oily fish and tonight steak and spinach. I'm figuring good nutrition can't but help. I'm also going to eat chocolate! Will see if all this helps.
