@stimey60 , That's frustrating. I think we've all experienced some time when we just didn't get the answer/solution that we needed. I am not a clinician, but I'd be curious to know if your blood levels look ok, are there possibly certain vitamins lacking (B12 or others)? If you have a holistic/functional medicine doctor in your area it may be interesting to see what suggestions they may have, especially if you are open to some alternative treatments.

Mayo Clinic does have an Integrative Oncology area:

Here are a few links to some other discussions too:

@lls8000 thanks for that but I am not a fan of holistic medicine. I wont do chiropractic at all. I will try acupuncture, I've seen it work for my husband, but a holistic provider nope. Ill try the ginseng. But again if my blood sugar goes down that's it. Im older and I realize that it takes time. But after almost three years it is getting old. Ill send a email to the palliative providers I did see and see if I get any answers.
Thanks everyone for your help.
Youve given me alot of information.
I will beat this crap!
I've got to many people to pissoff yet!
