Hi all, I hope I'm in the right section this time lol

I'm just 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 Clare/ 

    I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community and, although I'm not a member of this group, I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.

    I don't have any experience with these alternative therapies but the most important thing is, no matter what replies you get here, to run anything like this past your consultant.

    While you're waiting for replies, it would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and proposed treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.

  •  Hi  I cant recollect anyone on the board trying these therapies but I’ve found this post by using the search function so I’ll tag Cazza in to see if she has any advice?
