I took cisplantin in 2018 several rounds of it.small cell carcinoma in the back of my mouth along with Radiation. I’ve been clean for 6 years. Ended up having to get a stomach tube due to developing a throat 'thrush' infection just before leaving for a last weekend home before being a bit too debiliatetd to travel. Couldn't eat the whole weekend and could barely swallow. Had told the night doctor at the radiation facility I thought I had a throat infection but be took a look and brushed it off.
Lost 12 pounds over the weekend away and doctor pushed the feeding tube installation. Did better after that and antibiotics for the thrush. One thing I learned about feeding tube to help others.
Get the organic stuff - based on pea protein - you get atrocious gas from the pea protein, but it's better for you than the sugar based stuff - mix a half a cup of PLAIN kefir with a cup of warm water each 'meal' makes a HUGE difference.
Recovery - have to take a drug to help throast moisture. Was developing pancreas and gall bladder problems. Not enough digestive enzyme for food I was eating.
Started on commercial digestive enzyme (Digest Gold w/ATP) , probiotic, prebiotic, Things have gotten a LOT better. But still wonering why Mayo didnt prescribe them for me to begin with.
