I just wanted to share with my MM team that I was getting a mild stomach ache daily in the afternoons and knew it was probably one of the supplements I took at noon. After a little research and getting the okay from my oncologist I switched from regular calcium to calcium citrate and no more stomach aches.đź‘Ť If anyone has this same issue see if you can change it did make a difference! Happy Holidays!
Ask for more medication.
Just to share I’ve been taking chewable B-12 5000 mcg for ten days and honestly feel I have more energy. I’ll comment back at 30 days. If you do try let me know what your experience is. And please check with your doctor before taking. Certainly don’t want it to interfere with your treatment meds. Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸

I’m writing Pro’s and Con’s for treatment. My mother had stage 4 ovarian cancer 3 times. Chemo, cured, reoccurrence, chemo & surgery, reoccurrence. In the end she read her Chemo diary and decided against any further treatment. She did have quality of life in the end.

I wish we could take 1 a day for 5 days…. Thanks in advance for any suggestions…. I have no idea if this will be my maintenance therapy for the rest of my life but it’s not a great maintenance plan for me…
It’s been so long since I’ve taken Dexamethasone I can’t remember how it affected me the only thing I do remember is that it gave me insomnia the night after I took it.
