Back From Chemo

I’m back home from the chemo therapy. I’m feeling tired. The Benadryl has knocked me down, but I was able to tough it out enough to not fall asleep – small victory there.

I spoke with the nurse about using ginger tablets. She said they have been tested and found to work to prevent nausea. I asked why they are not recommended, she did not know why.

I asked the oncologist about the numbness in my feet (neural necropathy). He suggested I take some vitamin B6.

After my chemo the Vorlon Wife and I went to a health food store and got some ginger capsules and vitamin B6. We’ll see if that helps.

It's funny you mention B6. Seems like our dogs got into the B6 bottle off the shelf one day last week. I don't know how many that ate, but Cheyanne, had tons of energy that night. She generally is a little sluggish and has a slightly difficult time walking. She ran around all night long!

Hey
If that's what Vit.b6 can do for a dog.
I am wondering what it could do for an 84 year
Grandpa? Perhaps there's something to it?

Dog phsiology may be different than human physiology.
