Hello All,
Someone from the EC message board referred me to yours because I am interested in homeopathic treatment for my dad's severe nausea. I was told that PHOTOG was very knowledgeable about it. To make a long story short he was diagnosed 12-18-07 with EC. After alll the tests we found out there is a small mets. mass in the tip of the right lung. Since diagnosis daddy has been hospitalized twice for dehydration. He went for chemo today but was admitted because of his severe nausea. He received one treatment of cisplatin and irinotecan 8 days ago. When he was discharged from the last stay (1-10-08) he weighed 183. He weighed 170 today. At Thanksgiving he weighed 210 lbs. He has a PEG tube because he can't swallow anything-not even his own saliva. He started out pretty good with it for a few days but now loses everything.
I have read about some homeopathic remedies for nausea and at this point we are willing to try almost anything! When I asked the dr. about it today she said not to use them while he's on chemo because it interferes with it.
Please respond with any advice that might help!
Thanks
I'll get back to you on this one. However, let me state that homeopathy in no way whatsoever interferes with chemo. It is true that some natural products might interfere, but not homeopathy.
Regards,
Craig
