Thank you all for contributing to this thread, sharing your personal experiences and supporting each other.
Could I please ask that you don’t recommend things like fluid amounts, supplements or medications to others - what might be right for one person may be harmful to someone else. We would always advise everyone speak to their specialist nurse, Haematologist or GP for specific advice on things like fluid intake, supplements and medications. They know the patient best and have to consider; past medical history, blood counts (kidney, liver and cardiac bloods) other drug interactions, allergies, future treatment options etc.
It’s fine to state what you do for your own health, but suggesting others do the same could be considered ‘medical advice’ which goes against our Terms of Use - Guidelines
