Hi,
Well, tommorrow is my big day, I finally get to start my chemo and radiation. I'll be having carboplatin with 5Fu's and radio for 7 weeks to both sides of neck. The cancer has spread from my right tonsil to lymph nodes on both side of neck, as far down as clavicle.
I have done my best with a veggie, organic diet and supplements (via a nutritionist) but am wondering which complimentary remedies have been tried and tested as being safe to use during treatment (largely to support liver/digestion and immune system in general, also the mouth problems). I realise there are a lot of contradictory views but the Cancer Centre do not advocate the use of any alternatives to drugs and more drugs, surely there are some good old-fashioned remedies that work well alongside the drugs? Does anyone have any info to offer?
Many thanks and good luck to you all,
Frances.
