Plus, I would have them give approval of anything during treatment. There weren't many changes to treatment protocols for decades until up to about 3-5 years ago. I think the level of care and knowledge is extremely good right now with conventional medicine.
With that said, many places that infuse Vit C don't like to do it with chemo or radiation because of the unknowns. If they say it is safe and it cures cancer, hold on to your wallet and run the other way. Fast.
Just my opinion.
