I met with a difference gyn/onc yesterday as mine was in an emergency and could not fly to my hometown. This lady is great with nutrition and I enjoy seeing her (two times now). She suggested that I continue on carbo given at slower rate and premedicated two days prior with steroids since it is working so well for me.
Left it entirely up to me, but I agreed to try one more dose the 2nd of December.
A new thing, she asked to see my tongue and said since I had a crevice down the center of it, I was low on Vitamin B-12. I have never heard of this but she said that taking B-12 would help my fatigue level. Told me to get Sublingual (disolves under tongue) B-12, 2000 mg. a day. I am giving it a try and will report in a month or so on my tongue and energy level. I love this woman as she is so up on Vitamins and colon bacteria. She also affirmed the Vit. B-6 and L-glutamin for warding off problems with numbness in hands and feet from chemo when I asked about that.
Blessing to all you ladies fighting the good fight!!! Saundra
