So........S went to see her onc doctor for the first time today ( THANK YOU TO D. FOR THE LIFT AND HOLDING S's HAND ). So much for all the dates given out at one time ..as was told to me by the SAME onc department several weeks ago . It's going to be 6 cycles of 4 treatments ( so ..6 x 4 = 24 bouts of kimo ) ..one treatment every 3 weeks ............so 6 months of it. And they tell you to live a normal life !! S has to first have tests on her liver and kidneys and will be on Paclitaxel and Carboplatin. The first treatment will take 8 hours. Also , the onc doctor tells S that she can eat whatever she wants !! WHAT THE FUCK !!??????? All the cancer guides and medical opinions state that BBQ , fried and grilled foods should be avoided as well as certain vegetables. So , with kimo causing weight loss , and if it was a case that S only ate salads , there would be no massive calorie intake to make up for all the loss . Also , you are advised not to take vitamin supplements during kimo too. The doctor didn't even advise a balanced diet.....just eat what you want .
