I'm now Stage IVa (my onc ups the stage when disease progresses).
I have not eaten red meat for 8 years. Since chemo ended, I take 2 full strength aspirin daily. It takes 6,000 IU's of Vit. D 3 to get me to the high norm (Labcorp) of 100nl. I take that daily. I take a Centrum for older women.
I've just recently joined a gym and attend class Monday, Wed., and Fri. I do 3 hours on Monday and 2 hours the other 2 days.
I still have CEA and scans every 6 months, tho studies have shown that at 6 1/2 years post HP you are cured with a 99% certainty.
