Actimil probiotics

Hi Chris, to be honest, I don't know much about Lymphoma, the best people to ask are your GP, oncologist or specialised nurse. However I was diagnosed with Malignant Melanoma and while on a Drug Trial I had problems with my stomach and anti sickness meds didn't help. My Oncologist suggested I try Actimel or any probiotic. I have been taking it ever since once a day. I developed Lymphoedema after a groin dissection and asked the Specialist Nurse if anything I was taking would make it worse. I gave her a list of my meds and told her I also took Actimel she assured me nothing I was taking could make it better or worse.

I think it is better to be safe than sorry, so I would ask a professional if I was you!

Thankyou will speak to someone today x 

I thought they would help with my digestive issues will ask today x Thankyou Chris 

Morning Hilo13, they do help your gut and bowels, they certainly help mine, but always good to talk to a professional

Hi Chris, not a problem, I'm glad you have your answer, did your medical team offer any other options.

No I think I drew a short straw with them never mind at least they answered x Chris 

Hi Hilo, Glad you asked, you can't be too careful!

Just a quick update .i have been told by another member of the Haemotology dept that it is safe to take probiotics having been told not to take them . I am so confused and having read the thread about hospital care or lack of it I feel frightened about what’s ahead . I too had a very bad experience in hospital at the beginning of the year and have informed family that I don’t want to be admitted I  have a health directive and d n r in place . I think I will now contact my Gp and see what his take is. Best wishes to you all . Chris x
