Hello!
Couple of words about my husband Vadym.
16 July he finished radiotherapy with tmz.Vadim feels changeable - there are headaches, speech and memory problems, and control emotions, weight loss.
But as a whole - a positive trend, although barely noticeable.
Vadym"s protocol till yesterday.
Metformine 2,5 g per day,
Dexametazone 3 mg,
Cereblex 200 mg per day,
Chlorochine 250 mg per day,
Boswellia serrata Life extention 5-6 capsules x 3 time per day.
Milk Thistle 250 mg x 3times per day
DCA 1 gr x 2 times per day
Maitake
CLO
Whey protein,
Phosphatidile serine.
Quercetine 1600 mg 3 times per day,
Bromelain 2 cuplets x 2 times per day
Resveratrol 500 mg once per day
Chlorella 500 mg 3 times per day
Rhodiola
Befungin ( chaga mushroom)
Gentle Iron 1 capsule 3 time a day ( low iron in blad tests)
Genistin
Curcuma longa 2400-3000 mg,
Minocycline ( Now he doesnt accept it, we started it and Vadym had a headache and rash at dose 100 mg 2 time per day. We stopped, maybe we will restart it again).
Today we stopped all supplements and medicines as Vadym has swelling on the left side of the face and redness ( place of radiation). Doctor said to take diuretics and antihistamine, but if he has temperature increase, it will be a reason to suspect an infection and start antibiotics.
Im going to restart all supplements step by step after.
Did someone such a situation?
Im affraid, that Vadym vill be without support....
Also i would like ask advise about German Clinics for ImmunoTherapy. Can anyone recommend me any of them?
My warmest greetings to all!
Tania.

A few thoughts to offer, mostly about what I gather is radiation-induced skin damage.
ReplyDeleteYou might continue the celebrex, as an anti-inflammatory it may help with pain, redness, fever. Though I kind of shudder at people taking dexamethasone, he likely really needs it right now.
Topically, aloe vera gel may help reduce inflammation. Aquaphor is a good moisturizing topical agent.
Boswellia has been used topically for radiation dermatitis.
If it progresses to oozing, some might suggest silvadene cream (silver sulfadiazine). However, metal-containing topical agents DURING radiation can worsen the problem (this is recognized for zinc-containing agents, at least).
I've been disappointed by the lack of good research on topical agents to *prevent* skin damage with radiation. My own wife is now on daily radiation Tx, and we have her using a topical cosmetic preparation to prevent dermatitis, a "Vitamin C serum." There are a bunch of similar preparations, they contain Vitamin C, Vitamin E, hyaluronic acid, and a variety of other herbal ingredients. I think there's good reason to expect that topical anti-oxidants should be able to reduce radiation dermatitis by scavenging the free radicals generated by the radiation, but there's no good research to validate this idea of mine. We're doing it anyway, and so far, so good.
Steve, Thanks for the detailed and prompt reply! It is very helpfull for me!
ReplyDeleteAs for dexamethasone, we tried to give it up, and gradually reduce the dose, but, unfortunately, does not work, we will try even later.
Once I painted the face of my husband aloe vera gel, the next day there was swelling, the water gathered under his eyes. He began to look like the next day after surgery.
Now we cant visit doctor as we have vacations in Ukraine till Wednesday. I am afraid of allergies. However, it should be noted that taking antihistamines had no impact on the swelling, as well as diuretics.
I would be wary about the continued iron supplementation, unless he's having clinical symptoms of iron deficiency. Iron can be a tumor promoter.
