Marv, please be wary of anything that claims to cure cancer!!!! The only scientifically proven ways to eliminate cancer are surgery, radiation with or without chemo and some cancers will respond to chemo by itself (unfortunately not oral cancer). There are wayyy too many unscrupulous people getting rich from selling things that are not beneficial to cancer patients. I think people who do that sort of thing are absolutely disgusting! They're the lowest form of a human when first thinking about lining your pockets by taking advantage of people who are very ill. Upon a quick google search I found varying pro and con articles. I suggest for your own safety to first ask your doc about using anything extra while going thru treatments. Some things as simple as certain vitamins can interfere with the effectiveness of cancer treatments. I know you have some issues with having access to your physicians. Hopefully you will be able to see your doc soon. When I went thru rads with chemo, I saw my radiation oncologist once a week to give me a thorough exam and review the weeks treatments. My chemo oncologist I saw every 2 weeks. Im sure you must be seeing your nurses most. Make sure to relay any issues and/or questions you have thru your nurses.

Hang in there, we are here to help you as much as possible. One day at a time and step by step.
