In the mean time I can tell you what supplements I take but with the caveat I do not know how they work with chemo as I dont take any medication. However, I am pretty sure Chris proposes many of them to people undergoing chemo for primary cancer. This of course depends on what type of breast cancer you have.

@swift : is he doing this for free? how does it work? thank you so much for sharing

CancerActive site is free and you can get most of this information off the site. You have to pay for personal prescriptions. That keeps the site free for everyone else.

Thanks for this @swift. Plenty to look into here. Xx

It’s so interesting to read all you’ve shared on the protocol you’ve been following , thank you so much .
I’ve used a herbalist throughout my treatment and have been really grateful for her advice and help with tailor made medication and dietary changes to help me alongside my Chemo, Surgery and RT.
I’ve now been given the all clear but it’s been a difficult slog due to the symptoms and side effects of treatment.
I hope your story will inspire others as it has me.
I will certainly take a look at the site you’ve mentioned.
Good luck everyone xx :kissing_heart:

I think I’m going to knock it all in the head until I’ve finished chemo. I was taking rso oil as thought it would help with nausea etc but I had my blood tests and my liver enzymes were through the roof and now chemo delayed. I’m almost certain it was the rso oil. So lesson learnt :roll_eyes:

Sounds like a hard lesson to me but I do think you’re better getting rid of that rso oil. It’s a fairly new thing and it’s used is restricted so really no studies to show how it interacts with anything . Drink plenty of water and a little apple cider vinegar once or at most twice daily . My routine blood results have improved and the only thing I’m doing differently is eating fermented food and then I read that kefir ( which is one thing I’m having every day ) helps the liver though I can’t remember where I read it to be honest and it would be a quick fix. Have you checked the chemo threads to find out how others manage their nausea ? Apologies if you have done this already . Xx

Thanks for the advice. Yes, was very silly of me but lesson learnt. Will buy some kefir tmw. In the meantime I’ll drink tons of water and fingers crossed I’ll be back on track next week. How are you getting on?

Getting over an annoyingly persistent virus - otherwise ok thanks. Take care xx

Oh… Predictive text typo meant to write kefir wouldn’t be a quick fix not that it would .xx

Thanks @swift I’m in the US, treating with letrazole and ribo for HR+, bone-only MBC Recurrence after 9 years on hormone therapy. I found this study confirming the results you’re seeing:

Can you share any links to studies you’ve seen?

What dose do you take? Brand name in US is Claritan. I sent a note to my Integrative Oncologist at MSK (Memorial Sloan Kettering) to see if I can take Loratadine with no harm while on ribo. (Initial dx in 2010, HR+, Stage II, double mastectomy, chemo, then AI pill for 9 years. 2023 recurrence to bone with pathologic fracture at T-8. RT then ribo/letrazole, clear scans since)

I would love to see the protocol too. Thank you for sharing.

Hi your story is amazing. One thing I’m curious about is how you dealt with your osteoporosis?.

I’ve just been diagnosed.

36

Hi I’m really interested in your protocol, like yourself I wanted to try alternative therapies as I believe they are out there but don’t make big pharma any money. I lan to finish my treatment which is for HER 2+ and then start on an alternative protocol. Thanks for the information

Hi!
I didn’t take any medication. I walked 5 miles every day and I had a Reformer Pilatis session every week. I didn’t take extra calcium. I did take high levels of D3 and K2. This increased my bone density from Osteoporosis to Osteopenia (and perhaps a bit better than that) and kept it an a stable level. However once I started spending time in SW Lesvos (Greece) eating local produce ( grown on mineral rich soil) and swimming every day in the mineral rich sea under the Mediterranean sun then my bone density leapt up by 17% Of course this isn’t available to everyone! But if you can try to spend some time there.
