I've just been told that I have an aggressive NON - HODGKIN LYMPHOMA. which is treatable and curable. So, I feel lucky as some of my friends have not been so lucky.
I was first diagnosed with HODGKIN LYMPHOMA in 2022, had chemo which I didn't deal with so well, at first but watched a few utube videos and found some of the advice atbout how to detox the chemo . The first was drinking plenty of water, then having detox baths for the first 4 nights after your chemo session with EPSOM SALTS AND BI CARB, had to stay fir 40 minutes for it to work. This became my routine for 6 months. I used my ear pods to listen t audible on amazon prime and listened to podcasts. I lost all my hair felt really ill but had my good days. Couldn't have any visitors or go in crowded places cause my immune system was so low.
My sister has bought concert tickets for my birthday in a few weeks but I've had to tell her I won't be able to go. I've also just retired and we've bought this amazing motorhome and mostly kitted it out, we've been on a couple if trips and took our e-bikes. Our next trip was to travel round Europe starting with Portugal for a few weeks, but my Oncologist told us that Europe might have to wait.
Anyway, I've got to have 3 rounds if R-GCVP then radiotherapy every day ( except weekend) for three weeks. So all together about 12 weeks of treatment, so I can't really complain. Oh and I might not lose my hair this time cause my oncologist has tweaked my treatment, she's just amazing and so positive. She said I will be CURED completely. I've just got a tiny stubborn cell in my armpit that the surgeon couldn't get out.
Does anyone know if the detox will work on these chemo drugs or is their something else I can do to lessen the after effects
