Thanks for the input, guys. After the baseline blood work and images were taken (which still show no sign of disease (I'm 10 weeks post treatment)), I was randomized into the control group. So I guess it's up to me to find my own "chemo prevention." I'm going to look into what I can do with diet and vitamine and herbal supplements. I'll post things I find interesting and relevant.
