Hello. Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness!!
I'm having trouble with digestion. I developed SIBO, or at least that's what it seems. My gastroenterologist finally put me on xifaxan...still waiting on the results of the SIBO breath test. Xifaxan is an antibiotic that removes bacteria from the intestine. And I really have to watch what I eat. After I fi ish the antibiotics...which have been just mediocre in clearing the pain, I will start treatment with an herbal called Atrantil and other items recommended by my naturopath. Something will help, I'm sure.
Ive been having pretty intense spinal spasms too. And lost 7 pounds in 7 weeks. I'm trying now to put those pounds back on. I remember when it was so easy to gain weight but hard to lose it. Now it's just the opposite!
As for scans, I have another at the end of September. If that shows lymph nodes, they will do another biopsy.
I cant tell you how much it means to me that you reached out!
I've been feeling like I'm losing hope a little. SIBO is much more painful than chemo ever was.
Thank you again. You've really helped me through a difficult evening.
I hope you are doing well. How are you?
