I am so glad to hear they were able to do something to help you feel so much better! I never heard of IV fluid infusion for these chemo symptoms. If I had, I would have asked for them 10 years ago, because when I was mid way through my chemo, I had many of the same symptoms as you! Miserable nausea ....complete exhaustion .... mouth sores .... I also had excruciating acid reflux and was constipated beyond anything I've ever experienced. I was also very depressed.

Please don't overdo it .... I know it must feel great to have some energy, ambition, and appetite ..... I hope that infusion and it's effects last you for a good long while.

I remember that everything I tried to eat had a metallic taste. So I didn't eat anything. The only food that tasted good to me was cole slaw.

Three hours for an IV infusion, huh. That's a long time .... but I'm so happy it helped you feel so much better!

Hang in there ..... I'll be sending you all the good karma I can muster!
