NO, NO NO on the vitamins while he has cancer. At least that is what I was told back in 1998. Check with your doctors first. I'd defintely go to MD Anderson if you can or at least get a second opinion from them. Since this is hitting you so hard, I'd take a third person, one who is not so emotionally involved, with you on the doctor visits to take notes or tape record the meetings. It is so hard to remember and digest everything that is said when it is unfamiliar and coming at you so quickly. Here's hoping for a clear Pet Scan.
Take care,
Eileen
