Joined: Dec 2016 Posts: 46 | Thanks for the reply Ed. I had answered you a couple of days ago but I don't see the thread here anymore. Guess I never sent it or pushed the wrong button.
The diet is an eye opener. Everything you mentioned is what I eat and the 530 cal Boost drinks are soy based and contain 60% RDA vitamin B per box.
None of my cancer doctors seemed concerned by any of my work ups. I think I am just going to concentrate on staying as healthy as I can and stop worrying about everything. Obviously the combination of cancer, Chemo and radiation is going to affect me for quite a while.
