This is just a quick follow up comment. I hit 5FU resistance a while back and have recently been wondering why anyone thinks Xeloda will work on me this time. My ND - who is not the doc prescribing the Xeloda but is in my corner supporting my immune system - said that my high-dose Vitamin C IVs may help it work better metabolically and help prevent some toxicity.

I asked the chemo nurse about using IV vitamin C and she suggested against using anything that is high concentrated. She gave an example. Vitamin C helps the immune system so it can help cancer and non cancer cells to stay alive. However chemo objective is to kill all cells and Vitamin C can help cancer cell stay alive.
Any thought/experience on this?
