My oxytocin levels are depleted from the chemo drugs is all I can figure. Has any one else experienced the same and what have you done to help keep the mood up. I asked my oncologist if taking oxytocin shots would be ok with the drugs I am taking and he said it would not interfere with them. Has anyone else experienced the same? Has you ever done oxytocin? Did it help? Thank you in advance for replies.
