One week into my treatment: I saw my oncologist yesterday and my blood work looked good. I am experiencing some small side effects. I have some sores in my mouth mostly on my tongue and my blood pressure was a little high 154/80 I usually run 110-120/70-80 he was not surprised, said it was to be expected they will have to keep an eye on it though.. I can not taken any anti inflammatory drugs for my arthritis, so needless to say my knees are giving me so trouble it is hard for me to walk, and they hurt. So I am looking into a more natural cure for my problem. I have taken to drinking ginger root tea and of course I am on the apple cider vinegar drink. Trying to walk as much as I can and I sighted up for water aerobics starting next week. I sure hope this works. It is a small price to for a cure and my cancer will be gone for more than a year.

Thanks for your support -
Sorry about the arthritis pain. Keep after the doctors, surely, they can think of something.
I hope that the mouth sores clear up. I have mouth irritation but, so far, have not had actual sores. It’s no fun thinking about Thanksgiving with mouth sores.
You remain in my thoughts and prayers.
Don’t know why my above entry didn’t carry my ID. Any way, it’s Carol wishing you happy Thanksgiving.
Hang in there, Cheryl. Keep up the good fight. You’re in my prayers. Hugs…Grace
My Dr. gave me some adhesive pain patch’s and they work very well on my knees. Maybe your Dr. can give you some. They are ‘precription’, called: Lidoderm, Lidocaine patch 5%. I think they are pretty new.
Good luck!
