Just wanted to add that my skepticism on self-promoting doctors and their proprietary supplements or in this case, a unique chemotherapy that Block brags no other hospital or doctor uses in America (gee wonder why?) does not translate into a denial of the importance of good nutrition and healthy life-style. Something about the last sentence of your post on supplements approved by your doctors just set off major red flags and reminded me of prior negative things about Dr. Block's supplement store or his scare tactics that you will get a recurrence if you don't buy his overpriced vitamin mixtures I'd read. I personally find it disturbing that a so called cancer center does not even offer radiation or surgery but this very important fact is buried deep within their web site. After reading pages and pages of how Block offers all the best TX, under FAQ they confess
[quote]Does the Block Center perform radiation or surgery?
No, but if you have received a diagnosis of cancer, or believe that you may have cancer and come to us seeking a diagnosis, we can refer you to nearby physicians and medical facilities that provide the full range of medically advanced radiological and surgical treatment options, in concert with the chemotherapy and combination therapies in which the Block Center specializes.

Good for you in shopping around for different opinions on what TX to get and having the wisdom to understand that no matter how terrible radiation and surgery are, you will not beat cancer without one of them. Supplements though are a very different story.
