Joey. B6 does help. I'm on My second round of Fulfiri and I have noted great differences from last year to this year with the vitamin B6. It was recommended by my doctor so ask yours! Hang in there!! I've had over 32 treatments and know how you're feeling! We are in this fight together!!! God bless you!!

There was a typo... CC is very attractive to the liver. They like to take up residence there!! It's very common in our circles! My friend's liver looked like Swiss cheese, it was so full but she is in remission now. Hope on!!

over 7 years agoI basically did the same. My surgery went really well, although I've heard that laparoscopic can be easier. My recovery was about two weeks. Surgery was Oct 8, a power port was put in on Oct 30 (slight discomfort), then chemo began Nov 3.
Are you married, have children, a good support system? With the help of my daughter I began a medical journal and just noted things that were happening, advice from nurses and medical staff, side effects, etc. so much will be going on that it's good to keep track, if only in short blerbs, and then to reflect and refocus. My family has gone with me to each treatment and appointment. It's so important to have support as I can't keep all the info floating in my brain and so I depend on them for help in this area.
Again, if I can be of any assistance, just ask!! Chemo is not to be dreaded either. It is easier than you can imagine and the medical staff who will tend to you are pretty awesome people!! There is meds to keep away nausea, or other side effects at bay, that are very effective. It's a new age in this type of treatment.
I worked full time for over a year while doing chemo. I did my treatments every other Friday and went back to work on Monday. You're young, you'll do great!! You are now officially a warrior!! Fight the good fight!! You've got this!! We've got this!! I put your name on my kitchen bulletin board and will pray for you and your upcoming journey daily! God bless you! ~ Victoria
