Hi
I'm wondering has anyone here done Red light therapy, PEMF therapy or Oxygen chamber therapy while doing the capox chemo. I really want to help my body as best I can during chemo. It is expensive to do but I'm willing to give it a go. Il obviously run it past my consultant for the final say but curious if anyone has done the therapies n has it helped or hindered chemo?
Hi Clare1234
As this is a general chat group for patients with different cancers and their carers, I’d recommend you post your question in the bowel cancer group where you’ve posted before. There, you’re more likely to connect with others who are going through or have undergone Capox chemo, and might have tried these types of therapies.
It’s always good to check with your oncologist before trying any other forms of treatment, just to make sure there is no potential clash while you’re undergoing chemo.
