Cheri, m'dear---abdominal pain IS sometimes a symptom of urinary tract
infection. Anytime you have unexplained pain in back or abdominal area, check your output....UTI's are a bother. Can you take cranberry extract? -- Sarajane's Polyclay Gallery Beads-Dolls-Wearable Art www.polyclay.com see the current auctions at: http://snipurl.com/aiid "susiegibson" wrote in message ... huggs back at you- am glad you are home and on the mend...... -- susie gibson ******************************************** http://www.reachone.com/sgibson/ ******************************************** "Cheri" wrote in message ups.com...

Sarajane, maybe that's why they didn't want to address it in the
hospital. However, my pain was high, right under my breasts. That's why I thought I was relapsing. Anyway, although still uncomfortable, the pain is not nearly as severe as it was last week, so hopefully I am on the mend. Never heard of cranberry extract. I do drink cranberry juice. Cheri |

Cheri, do see if you can find the extract , usually at healthfood stores.
There's liquid concentrate and also capsules, and the extract is easier to get the higher dose without acidifying your tummy.....there's stuff in cranberries that not only inhibits the bacterial growth that causes UTI's but also actually peels the bacteria away from the bladder and UT walls and flushes 'em out. -- Sarajane's Polyclay Gallery Beads-Dolls-Wearable Art www.polyclay.com see the current auctions at: http://snipurl.com/aiid "Cheri" wrote in message oups.com...

Unfortunately, I am not allowed to do any herbal or alternative meds
while I'm on chemo. So I guess I'll stick to cranberry juice for now. I'm sure it sounds ridiculous to you, but I suffer through these side effects and don't want anything to interfere with whatever effectiveness the chemo will have, so I listen to my doctor. But thanks for the advice! Cheri |

I do understand----you need the chemo to do as much damage as possible---to
the cancer cells only!!!! (As much as possible!!!) So no vitamin c or anything that helps protect, for now. Though I'd sure hope you are eating lots of garlic, or garlic in broth....as soon as possible! Ask your doc if thats ok. -- Sarajane's Polyclay Gallery Beads-Dolls-Wearable Art www.polyclay.com see the current auctions at: http://snipurl.com/aiid "Cheri" wrote in message oups.com...
