how much is in the b12 shots?
After I finish with the Chemo, I am sure that I will be on a regular schedule for the colonoscopies.
As far as chemo pills I am taking. I take Capecitabine, 3-500mg tabs 2x a day and 1-150mg tab 2x a day. I take the meds for 14 days and then take 7 days off. Then start the cycle over. I also take a 2500 mcg methyl B-12 for extra measure about an hour after I eat in the morning. I believe after I had the tests at Washington University my level was about 460 if I remember right. The shot I get from the doctor is just a standard, nothing special.
Thanks for all the help. I got some very good info off of the Braintalk forum years ago that helped me greatly. It is always good to hear from folks in the same boat as you are.
