My husband had slight side affects that stopped when the treatments stopped. His main one was constipation with nausea shot at treatment, went to taking the pill, had little nausea. Headaches are his biggest complaint and just not feeling well, but again after treatments he does very well, saying he feels better than he has in a long time. I do green juicing for him plus a few other alternates that I have researched. After 2 cycles of 7days he went into complete remission and is currently on 5 days and 3 weeks off.
Diagnosed June 2013. Had very low blood counts, platelets, WBC, etc. He had had his transplant conference at Moffitt Center in Tampa,Fl. Going in Dec 4th for a second BMB t see where it is at.
Best of luck to your mom. Keep the faith and prayers help. It can be a roller coaster ride.
Sincerely, Kathy
