I understand how you feel, but having cancer is not your ordinary run-of-the-mill times.

If once a day isn't doing it for you, then follow the doctor's orders. I only took it 3x a day for a short period. I took it for acid reflex.

You might hate taking pills, but for the time being, in this case, those pills will help reduce the chances of your stomach being destroyed by too much acid. Also, I found that when I felt lousy, I was very tense. Not only was my mind worrying about the treatment working but it was also fighting that horrible feeling of nausea, etc. It's my opinion that by reducing tension it helped me conserve energy so my body could concentrate on fighting cancer and not the large amount of acid in my stomach.

If I were you, I would do everything in your power to stay as comfortable as possible. And that means doing things that you wouldn't normally do, or taking medications that you wouldn't normally take.

Merry
