Hi Bill and Ben,

I frist had cabataxal, six rounds every 3 weeks about 3 years ago. I was generally fine throughoutuntil last 2 when tiredness begun to effect me. I took every Friday off work during that time. Other SE was loss of body hair (except head, due to cold cap), ridging of finger nails and wight gain around face etc. This time it’s the same cabataxal except it seems to have dropped from 1.25hrs duration to 1 hr. Again at this time 5 out of 10 same SE but with sickness first few days afterwards and some tingling of toes and fingers. Getting more exhausted now. I’ll look at Chris woollams book!

Hope all goes well.Steven

Hi Steven ,

                 many thanks for replying . Your responses regards Chemo and what type of Chemo are a great help . At the moment because Zoladex knocked me about so much , Insomnia since 2015 etc , we are just monitoring my PSA ( recently jumped from 90 odd to 500 ) with me on Bicultamide 150mg daily and everything else I do . I was lucky as well that my CB oil person has been helping a friend of my Mother's with Liver Cancer for years , was known and the quality of their stuff. Generally after reading Chris Woollams site I check stuff against him. I'm also glad I found my Ayurvedic lady as she is very good at what she does . I also tried Mistletoe Therapy with a German Lady Dr . That did knock the Cancer too . I'm am going to possibly have another go at that , once I sort my sleep , fatigue out. I am slowly building my knowledge folder up. I have made a simple priority list for myself 

1. Sort Sleep 2. Fatigue ( 1 and 2 are degrees , I am looking for improvement more than anything ) 3. Back on track with Cancer program ( That's my own plan adding to Oncologist treatment i.e. what I am already doing , harder at diet , Cardio ?Vascular .... most likely do circuit training and hopefully get some strength as well as stamina back . 4. Quality time and do some simple bucket list stuff ...... The impact of this illness has took it's toll in many ways . I try not to underestimate but it's been tough . I really admire some of the folks that go through all this and also manage to raise lots of money for people like Chris Woollams ( Cricket Legend Mr bOYCOTT mentions him in his book ) hospices etc .... Something I have often thought about myself , keep positive , give something back etc .... 

Thanks for taking time to post and best wishes 

Bill&Ben

Hi Steven ,

           despite the outcrys about Snake Oil etc I would recommend you do some Research on CBD for yourself . I noticed an immediate effect to my Fatigue when I first started taking it . Also my Mum's best friends Serious Liver Cancer has been kept at bay by the same stuff I use. That's how I got my contact. I have put some bullet points below about what I have done , am doing to keep it simple. Great news ... my Insomnia is reducing and natural sleep returning ever so slowly .... ! This is a major challenge for me and great results .

1. I recommend search your own Cancer on Chris Woollams site 

2. Search about NK Killer cells on his site and gogglehead 

3. Vit D , Immune system and GUT HEALTH ... check out the Plant Paradox by Stephen Gundry 

   very best wishes and I'll talk to Dan , my Oncologist about the Chemo you mentioned
