I would refer you to this:

https://www.clinicaladvisor.com/your-co ... le/655556/

I would be probably avoid taking anything that has not been studied in combination with the standard treatments. Your FolFox treatment is much more likely to be successful than adding in something for which there is to date no clinical evidence of being synergic to FolFox. RP1954 will likely have better suggestions, for tests and supplements that in all likelihood have a little more evidence to back them up.

Good luck with your treatment.

We have used boswellia with 5FU fine, but never used oxaliplaten. So no special specific research or insights on oxi+boswellic acids here.

most of 2010 Life Extension recommendations and possibilities + more, some (much) higher, peaking ~2011-12, taper chemo to almost nothing mid 2018, IV C-->2021. Now supplements

I am not sure but whatever you do, make sure the frankicense is pure and not synthetic. I order all my essential oils from doterra. 100% pure grade
