@mtstack I agree with @gynosaur42 on meeting with an Integrative Medicine physician. Since you are in the Boston area I'm thinking you have options available to you. You may need a referral so once you locate someone you might ask your oncologist to make the referral for you.
I see an Integrative Medicine physician in oncology at Mayo Clinic. Her speciality is gynecological oncology in integrative medicine. I starting meeting with her, Dr. Stacy D'Andre, at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota after I had a recurrence of endometroid adenocarcinoma and received radiation therapy. Dr. Stacy has been an invaluable member of my team. I meet with her every 6-12 months.

Thank you Helen for sharing your advice regarding seeking out an Integrative Medicine oncologist. I have so many things to consider but right now focused on meeting the med oncologist to discuss chemo. I have read a lot of books and research papers and feel prepared for the meeting. Hoping to forestall what perhaps is inevitable. Two days ago I was happy thinking I was going in to listen but prefer no treatment. Then the next day swung back toward even though I know it would destroy my immune system and possibly increase the chance of recurrence.
This support group has been and is invaluable relative to information shared in a non biased way and the care people in this forum treat each other with. Thank you for being a mentor when you have your own concerns.
