Hi Kirsteen, I wanted to comment on the exercises. I was taught by my yoga teacher that if you visualize the exercise in your mind it will happen in the body. Do an exercise once and then do it in the mind as many times as you want. It works for me. Robert

To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, June 1, 2011, 4:27 AM Many many thanks to all who gave me advice on what to take to mitigate the effects of the chemo. Thank you too for all the offers of prayers, I am very grateful for these. Whatever your belief system I believe prayers can never go wrong. I got the Patrick Quillin book mentioned and am reading it. I'm trying to watch my diet, though I reckon it's pretty good anyway. I'm upping my vitamins and minerals and probiootics. I use flax seed oil and also take a lot of the seeds themselves. I'm afraid because of the M.E. exercise isn't an option due to horrendous post exertional malaise nor is it possible to get out much. LDN isn't available over here but I'm looking into Insitol. I take it that since their main worry seems to be infection that taking plenty of CS and gargling with it etc would be a good idea? I'm starting 3 cycles of FEC next week, followed by 3 of Taxotere alng with a years course of Herceptin. A month after th last Taxotere I should have the op, then radiotherapy and continued herceptin. thanks again Kirsteen
