Dr Chris Recommends Honey to Help Patients with Chemotherapy

Dr Chris Recommends Honey to Help Patients with Chemotherapy

Dr Chris recommends Israeli Honey to Help Patients Survive Chemotherapy

CANCER treatment usually comes in the form of chemotherapy, but this can bring down a patient’s white cell count - the cells of the immune system involved in protecting the body against both infectious disease and foreign invaders. Television doctor Dr Chris Steele recommended on This Morning a particular honey that could help keep chemotherapy patients' white cell count up.

I personally the only multivitamin I have taken for years is a bee pollen extract tablet. A natural multivitamin and multi-mineral.
Cancer treatment methods usually involve either, or a combination, of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Chemotherapy is medication that works to kill off cancerous cells, but this form of treatment can also bring down a person’s white blood cell count. White blood cells help fight infections by attacking bacteria, viruses, and germs that invade the body.

When the number of white cells drop as a result of chemotherapy, cancer specialists are usually forced to reduce the dose of chemotherapy or stop the treatment completely, meaning the tumour grows again.
1 level teaspoon twice a day has been proven to help the white cells.

Cancer Sleep Hats UK

Cancer Sleep Hats UK

Bold Beanies cotton chemotherapy hats are so soft and stretchy they fit snuggly, but not tightly onto a sensitive scalp for a good nights rest. They are made in the UK from luxury natural fabrics and the highest quality design construction. We ship worldwide.

I know from my own experience that finding something comfortable and breathable is hard and yet very important when suffering from hair loss, especially from cancer chemotherapy as you lose your hair suddenly and feel the cold or more permanent hair loss such as Alopecia. 

You can't wear a wig or scarf comfortably in bed and they slip about when you move. I ended up wearing woolly hats in bed, but these were itchy and often too hot... so I would take it off... and then find myself freezing cold, especially as I had my chemo during winter months and lived in a draughty house. But these soft hats are great for warmer weather too as they are temperature controlling and wick away sweat.

No More Tamoxifen! A curse and a gift...

No More Tamoxifen! A curse and a gift...

Day 1 No Tamoxifen! Well it would appear that I'm really closing many doors on my cancer journey this month. Finishing off my breast reconstruction and now being discharged from my Oncologist's care and stopping Tamoxifen after 10 years of taking it! Its now I realise its been a gift and curse. Whilst its a pretty nasty drug to take to prevent Breast Cancer, it carries risks of ovarian cancer and other unpleasant side effects. I've now come full circle and am really worried about coming off the drug and how it will effect my body, my mood, my skin,...
