I have moved back to my daughters through the treatment process.. I have had 3 Chemo treatments and will start my 2nd set of 3 chemo along with radiation on Tuesday April 28. Do you know if anyone has used Iverectin along with their treatments as well as other non drug products such as dandelion tea ect. And if they used throughout their treatments.

Hi Cindy, @cindythomas108, I don't have firsthand experience with either ivermectin or dandelion tea. I think by now we have all heard from people that have taken a holistic approach to their care. From my observations, the best outcomes come when this is done alongside traditional treatments. It's always hard to know what the right thing for you might be. We're all a bit different, and our cancers are different too. Keeping your doctors informed of any supplements or alternate treatments that you are taking/doing is important too.
I hope you are managing ok through the chemo sessions. Here are some links to information that may be helpful.
