Thank you my friends. I’ll try antacid before asking to reduce xxx

Only your Dr. Would be able to tell you that.

Ruth, you will need to ask your doctor. If you are responding well to treatment and your numbers are good, they will probably let you reduce the dose. Ask about some Prilosec or Pepcid in the meantime.

Ruth, my oncologist put me on antacid. Which worked. Best wishes!
