Anyone with any similarities?
« on: October 18, 2017, 07:02:59 am »
I am newly diagnosed in a way (2.5 years ago) but have started treatment with Triumeq a week ago. I am taking some extras such as antioxidants,b complex and fatty acids. So far (before treatment) my cd4 was 614 and my viral load 6000. I can only get tests once every 3 or 6 months cause I live away from a proper hospital or even a more specialized laboratory.

 As far as my nutrition concerns I am a vegetarian for the past 27 years and usually my blood tests have lower indications on red blood cells etc. My other issue is that I am also diabetic for the past 2.5 years and had cancer twice. Once on a testicle and the second time in lymph nodes, which was a metastasis. On both times had chemotherapy and during the first one a surgery as well.

Anyone who is in a same condition as me? Or something similar? I would love to exchange any thoughts etc...

Hi

Just wanted to say, welcome to the forum.

Glad to hear you are starting treatment and sorry to hear about the tough times health wise. Hope you are doing okay now. We have members here with a wide array of health issues inculding cancer, I'm sure if they want to share they will reach out to you.

Take it easy and keep us posted on how you get on.

 :D Dear Jim thank you for the welcoming. I am so glad for checking out this website! I never view it as tough times, it's just a bad history passing by..My next update will be around Xmas. Cheers
