I did a version of the fasting-mimicking diet for 3 days before my first chemo, expecting that it would help minimize side effects. But I don't know if it helped at all. I experienced so many side effects. Here's a list.
- Constipation
- Diarrhea
- Stomach cramps
- Heartburn
- Nerve pain
- Dry skin
- Dry mouth
- Raw nostrils
- Hair loss
The skin on my face is peeling off. My nostrils feel so raw. I still have heartburn. The diarrhea comes and goes. And yes, I'm starting to lose my hair. I will have a get a buzz cut soon. At least the nerve pain is dwindling down.
