Well did anyone know that mayo is doing a trial on ginseng? If you want to know more go to their website they are looking for patients.
But I did not qualify because of my diabetes.
So I was told it did not effect my immunotherapy but I should get approval from my endocrinologist, which is what Im doing now.
I sure hope he says ok
Thanks again

Donna, @stimey60, Treatments take such a toll on our energy levels. Sorry that you are facing this, and to this level even months later. I would be frustrated too.
Did your oncologist have any other suggestions? Has anyone suggested a palliative care specialist?

Here's a link to the gingseng study details. https://www.mayo.edu/research/clinical-trials/cls-20566541

@stimey60 my pleasure - I hope your endocrinologist says yes - and that it will help you feel more energized! ☺️
