Hi Mica,
Your description brought back a lot of memories. I too struggled with thrush for quite a while. I was was taking massive doses of Diflucan - 200 to 400 mg/day for months! If you take enough of it, it can actually suppress your white cell count (I think they call it nuetropenia) -it does recover. That itraconazole stuff sounds pretty nasty. Tossing your cookies is not a good thing - tell the doctor. I tried yogurt too but I didn't find it to make much difference. Besides you have to find yogurt with acidophilus in it for it to be effective at all.

Depression is pretty normal at this stage - ask your doc for some meds for that. I would also get some anti-anxiety meds as well.

It sounds like you are doing pretty well over all, everything considered. It's about the same place I was at at seven weeks (and it's not a happy place).

Watch the constipation stuff - I took fentanyl and morphine also and it really dogged me -spent a lot of time curled up in a fetal position on the bathroom floor.

It will get better! I haven't had thrush problems now for over a year and life is pretty much back to normal. Hang in there - you are really close to turning the corner.

The book I used as a reference was "Living Well With Cancer" by Katen Moore and Libby Schmais. At about 7 weeks I also read "It's Not About The Bike" by Lance Armstrong which was really cool.

If you want these books (or any others for that matter) order them through the Amazon link on the OCF homepage and a small portion will go to support OCF.
