Holistic Treatment With Conventional.
I'm 48, IDC with one node micrometasesis. HER2+, ER+. On round 3 of 6 of Carboplatin, Taxol, Herceptin. Had bilateral mastectomy. Not interested in radiation as my research indicates survival rate was less than 1% different on having it or not
Taking multiple supplements such as Vit B1, C, D, ECGC with cranberry, Quercetin with Bromelain and drinking one cup of organic soursop tea a day. Has anyone else tried holistic supplements as well. Looking into Essiac herbal which comes from Canada.… read more
My sister took herbal supplements from Canada back in the late 1990's , She had ovarian cancer, but I believe the supplements kept her alive for 5 years. She also had the chemo before starting the supplements which took her on a downward spiral. I do believe she would have died within 6 months after the chemo if not for the supplements. She took a lot of them daily. She also drank a lot of green tea-daily, After the chemo, she had the stem cell replacement which at time the insurance would not cover the cost . But it did not help her. Of course this again was 30 years ago and there has been many improvements in the treatments. And also breast cancers are not as deadly as Ovarian cancer.
It's also known as Graviola tea- just keep in mind that while some things can be helped, it can aggravate other issues. I passed on using the tea or supplement because it is not recommended for people dealing with nerve issues, and my neuropathy was slow in healing as it was.
Can you share where you got soursop tea please
I had a nutrition panel done before starting chemo by my PCP, who is an integrative physician. She made some recommendations, and we ran those past the oncology team to make sure there would be no issues with their drug protocols (6 chemo session of Taxotere, Carboplatin, Herceptin, then continued Herceptin infusions for the remainder of a year). Once I finished active treatment I added a few more items. I am now 3 years out of active treatment, and so far so good. My pathology was Stage 2a Grade 3 HER2+)
Thank you for replying, think the supplements are worth the try. Sorry to hear about your sister. Much love!
