Just looking for non-toxic supplements that may boost immune function to (in theory) act synergistically with immunotherapy. Open to suggestions.

I’ll do that. Thanks.

Hi all. I have used the search function of the forum and have not come up with any results. Has anyone by any chance had any experience with these supplements which supposedly boost one’s immune system specifically NK cell function? As far as I can tell they all seem to be one and the same. Thanks.

Sorry to hear this. Had a somewhat similar experience with an abscess after liver resection. Treatment is to drain and give antibiotics. If it’s any consolation some people say the stimulation of one’s immune system caused by the infection can “theoretically” improve one’s odds of cure. Hope it goes...

Are you continuing with Keytruda for now?
Any discussion with your medical oncologist on that front.

So sorry to hear this. I always followed her posts. Saying a prayer for her.

Rest in peace Tom. We never met but you made an impact in my life and I am sure in others lives as well. You will be remembered.

I believe there are lots of stories here of good outcomes after treatment for solitary lung mets. That you are getting treatment for it is good. Hang in there.

I have been following Tom for some time now. He is an inspiration to us all. Praying for him.

Hi Janis. Sorry to hear about your situation. It may sound cliche but there is always hope. Other people with similar situations have reached NED status again. It is true that you may have to face the possiblity of having treatments indefinitely but even this is not a certainty. Just worry about the...
