Be strong, you are an inspiration to me, and I'm right behind you.
One thing I might mention, is that I've noticed some talk about Aloe Vera on here and other boards.
I'm drinking it right now, and plan to make a mouth rinse with it, and some Vitamin E for topical swish only.
It might work for external use too?
Ask around...Does your CCC have an Integrative Medicine dept that can help with alternatives such as accupuncture, herbal remedies, etc..?
You're so brave...keep up the fight!!!!!!!
Hugs,
