Four Radiation Treatments Done
By JB aka JayBee
Only six more radiation treatments to go.
I have not experienced any great pain from the whole brain radiation treatments, just sparklingly fresh breath.
No really.
Mild headaches can develop a few hours after treatment along with a low grade nausea. I can eat despite the nausea, but it makes eating less pleasant. I am happy that I am 40% done with this therapy and have not suffered worse symptoms.
Still struggling to drink enough freshly made juice, I take thermoses full of juice to work. I am learning that you can't use juicing bags that have been used for icky things (like green juices) and use them for yummy things (like fruit juices) and expect the yummy juices to remain yummy.
I have several dietary supplements that go along with the Gerson therapy. My favorite is pig pancreas extract, otherwise known as Pancreatin. I have about seven vitamin and herbal pills that I take daily now. I am learning as much as possible about each of these supplements. I hope that they help me to strengthen my immune system and break down tumors.
