I am taking the supplements you recommended, started 2 weeks ago. Trying to help those mitochondria along.

In 1996 I had a modified radical mastectomy and lymph node dissection on the left, stage 2, clean nodes. Chemo was Cytoxin, Methotrexate and 5 FU, I think it was 6 cycles. 2005 I had a right segmental mastectomy. Chemo: Adriamycin, cytoxin 6 cycles followed by 12 cycles of taxotere, 6 weeks of radiation for a new primary that was stage 1, clean nodes. I believe the Taxotere is what is at the bottom of this. I only found one clinical study involving long term survivors Txere and neuropathy. There was some contoversy among my docs about whether to do 12, as 7 or 8 cycles were what they were doing back then. 12 was considered "over kill". I see my oncologist on Aug 3rd to specifically discuss the long term effects. I am glad he did what he did, as I am still here with no cancer signs.

I am sure I do not need to tell you how sick I got on the taxotere, worse then the adriamycin. I had profound weakness, eye problems, barely walk, could not climb stairs, buzzed all the time (I still do). Took Cymbalta for a while. Chemo probably had something to do with the Grave's Disease as well.
