From your signature it looks like chemo is doing you good. Great! I don't have any advice for expectations you are asking about but bet someone will come along. Good luck with surgery. Let us know how it went and how you are doing. Beach
I take it 5 days on, 2 days off and has been safe. Mine comes from Metagenics. I bet they have an email or # to call to ask questions/get more info. I originally began taking it with the Metagenics supplement package for cv19 immunity protocol back in 2020-about spring of 2024. Now back on it 5 days...
Indepth paper. Thanks for posting. Not often do I see andrographis listed for cancer like in the paper you shared but it is a vey potent cancer killer in CRC. I had been taking it since early 2020 (not as part of cancer protocol) then found it synergizes with xeloda and 5FU to go to work on differen...
Thanks yall! That means alot to me. Rp is the one who taught me courage to plan my course of treatment not them by straightening my spine and keeping my feet planted turning No's into Yes's...
It's been a long ride so far. I remember thinking every thought that could possibly run thru ones head as I was getting ready to go to the hospital for a 10-12 1/2 hr surgery.

IV in the bottle, Biolyte, Dr. Bergs electrolyte powder, ect are good. Also, you could put a lil pinch of salt under your tongue every 3-4hrs to keep electrolyte ...
Didn't notice til you pointed it out. It is a good thing people have found the forum and hopefully collecting info to be better prepared if they have CRC.
Good morning! Ready to head out the door for the two hour trip to the scan center when message pops up on my cell saying power outage at the center. All appt's canceled for the day. So, earliest appt now is Feb 24th. Goodness.....Winter has arrived!!!!!
I hope everyone had a nice Christmas full of love, laughter and memories to last forever! Our Christmas was a good one...kids playing, dogs excited, family getting together, relaxing watching movies and the Pecan Praline Cake was the ultimate dessert ever! LOL...For me, target practice was really th...
What were the targets if I can ask? I am glad you got a successful surgery and are healing well. I've been thinking about you. Remember you are in the drivers seat with your cancer! Often times they try to get you to stay in their facility and just take what they have to offer (keep the money there)...
