Hi Juanita,

Yes, the complicating diagnoses you listed would be a problem. You absolutely do not feel like eating during the reboot (I lost 16 pounds in 3 weeks and was already thin), which would make your sugars go crazy. Also, I had the neutropenic "crisis" or fever, requiring readmission, and that was tough on my body and can see how it would have been more risky with your situation.

The monthly cytoxan infusions, also cause huge nausea issues, hair loss, etc. You'd have to be careful with the insulin for sure. Maybe check into oral cytoxan? Sounds much less risky and icky.

Good luck and hugs.
