Doing 7 days of Water Fasting. Starting January 16, 2012

Reasons for Fasting:
Diagnosed with breast cancer in March 2011. Surgery - Late April and early May 2011. Chemotherapy June to October (6 treatments in all, 3 weeks apart). Radiation therapy early November to December (total 4.5 weeks, 5 days a week). Result of all treatment which I worked full time through, I felt like shit. Had a residual hacking cough in the morning.

Past Fasting Experience:
Juice fasting for three days Mon - Wed two weeks in a row at a health farm in 2009.

Present Diet:
Is good. Maybe too much alcohol at times.

Supplements:
None really.

Relevant Medical History:
See above

Present Medication or Drug Usage:
Nil

State of Mind:
Good. Bad. Good. Mostly Good. Sometimes bad.

Limitations:
Should have no alcohol.

Questions:
Very tired throughout my seven day water fast. Should I take some form of vitamin supplement throughout the next one. Ended up with oral thrush after day 5 of 7 day water fast. Why? Did my body have a lot of toxins to get rid of? Will it be a bit easier on the body next time? As in I haven't been back on chemo or radiation therapy since then.
