Re: mCRC Stage IV mets to LV and LN - what can we do more?

Today is the worst day in my life - my wife passed away and our cancer journey was ended too short... We tried all what we can, but unfortunately I couldn't save her. Just 3 days ago, she was full of energy, felt great and in a great mood. We made our plans and enjoyed the dinner. But on Friday star...

Re: mCRC Stage IV mets to LV and LN - what can we do more?

In a "normal health" person, a typical nausea value (daily divided limit) for niacinamide might be ~3000 mg/d, but less for chemo and extensive liver mets. Thanks for info. Taking into consideration the liver condition, we won't climb to very high numbers right now. Will try to increase N...

Re: mCRC Stage IV mets to LV and LN - what can we do more?

To chime in here I take 1000mg Niacinamide right after breakfast, then 500mg niacin B.I.D This is what ND suggested. Thanks beach sunrise, your adviсe are always helpful. So your dose is double of our (2g total). Looks like it make sense to try, because our "anti-Inflamation set" can't do...

Re: mCRC Stage IV mets to LV and LN - what can we do more?

We take Niacin and Niacinamide 500mg each. I think it's too small for therapeutic purposes. Do you have any experience with large doses? MCV (ref 80-95 fL): 91.4, 93.2, 92.5 RDW (ref 12-14.9 %): 19.5, 19.3, 19.0 Platelets (ref 150-400 x10^9/L): 244, 251, 294 Albumin (ref 35-55 g/L): 35, 29, 39 Fibri...

Re: mCRC Stage IV mets to LV and LN - what can we do more?

Good on the CEA decrease so far. Yes, but honestly we'd like to decrease the size) What anti-inflammatories is your wife taking? First of all IVC 3-4 times x 80 gram per week - about 1 kg per month. Also vit D3 30K/daily, celecoxib 400 mg, Boswellia 2.5g, Turmeric 3g, Fish oil 5g, MSM 1500 mg, Berb...

Re: mCRC Stage IV mets to LV and LN - what can we do more?

Quick (actually not) update. We continue with Folfiri chemo 6th cycle on Monday. CEA still dropping, but not as much as it was in the first cycles. From March 3 (first Folfiri cycle) we are down from 616 to 257 now. In Oct. 2022 CEA was 4163. Unfortunately recent CT didn't show any decrease in size ...

I believe and hope that surgery will put the final point in your long journey. Will you stay 4 weeks in Germany between surgeries?

The more you get better healthy results the more it helps your body fight not to mention the great immune boost you are achieving. Absolutely agree. No chance to win without help from immune system. Save it during systemic chemo is one of the main goal all complementary treatments as I think. I not...

We continue preparation for high doses vitamin D. From last week my wife takes 30K iu/day, week before was with 20K iu/day. Had a blood work yesterday to check how it's going on. - PTH (Parathyroid Hormone) is at low border - 13.2 pg/mL (preference 10-66 pg/mL), but I'm not sure it's only vit D work...
