Calcium and magnesium

Hi ,

Sorry to hear about your dad but chemo can be hard on all other aspects of the body . For my mum it was her potassium level that they had to treat . She stayed in overnight and got some IV fluid too and it did a great job . It wobbled about for a wee while after chemo but they kept a close eye on it and it eventually settled . The second year my mum had chemo they actually kept her in overnight and she had a really slow administration. I think picked her up straight after the school run . It was actually so much easier on her . She just dosed o and off then had a good sleep the following afternoon. 
I certainly don’t think there is anything to be unduly concerned about .

Send him our best ,

Take care ,

Hi . I had low magnesium while in hospital after my reversal and was put on a drip and given a vile drink to have! My doctor later noticed that my calcium was low and put me on a high dose of vitamin d for a couple of weeks and recommended that I take it from October to April on a daily basis. It could be worth trying with your dad but make sure that you check with the chemo nurses first?
