@mommacandy Just wondering if your current supplement regime is being guided by a complementary/alternative cancer treatment professional. Am also somewhat alarmed to read that you are taking B17. I have read in numerous sources that it is dangerous to take, especially for cancer patients, for it converts to cyanide in the body, which is toxic and can be fatal. Here is a recent article I read for more information: https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/cam/patient/laetrile-pdq

@cookercooker yea my oncology doc is aware of what i am taking and they are fine with it at the dose i take it.. i grew up eating wild and foraged foods, often cracking the pits of peaches and plums from our land etc for that kernel inside because i liked it... (can't stand them now lol)
i appreciate your concern, I have a rather large "care team" for lack of a better term, docs in various specialties due to my various needs including primary care, endocrinology, neurology, oncology, dermatology, etc., care coordinator who makes sure everyone knows everything, nutritionist, geneticist, chaplain, social worker, acupuncturist, massage therapist, pharmacist who checks all prescriptions for interactions and so forth.. Believe me i've done tons of research on anything before it goes in my body... and its because of my awareness of my body, i knew the cancer had come back before the blood tests ever alerted them to that fact,
in fact day of my first chemo this go around, my ca 125 was still only at 21, well under the 35 marker that would have triggered them and my np in oncology was astounded when she saw my CT, she was the one who ordered it to "prove to me the cancer wasn't back" .. but i was right...and so i'm back on chemo...
now i know i'm the "exception to the rule" and there's no one sure answer for anyone, but for me yes they are fine with what i take...
