Question

I am a 29 yr old female with metastatic breast cancer (lungs, liver, bones, lft eye & small mass on brain), I am doing fairly well thus far, I am unable to walk a distance, only enough to get around the house and I get out of breath easy. I am on decadron and in 2 mths I have gain 45lbs, with all my diagnosis weight should be the least of my worries but being a young lady I am still worrying about it. I was thinking about taking the colon cleanse and the acai berry in order to loose some of the weight. Would this be safe? What would you recommend I do? Thank you for your time.

The decadron can cause weight gain & fluid retention. I would not be concerned about that at this time.
The acai should be safe. Check with your oncologist for approval.
Do not do colon cleansing, as this may cause more harm than potential good.
Good luck
