Pre-vetting a discussion for my oncologist's consideration

@ajh5285 Is there an integrative medicine physician or practice near you? They are in a good position to advise you on your questions.

I don’t have pancreatic cancer. I did have endometrial cancer and asked my oncologist to refer me to Integrative Medicine. I’ve been working with the integrative physician and her staff on nutrition and supplements (I don’t take many as she has advised to get most of vitamins and minerals from my diet). She also has advised me on exercise, including yoga, acupuncture, and massage.

My integrative medicine physician is an MD who specialized in gynecological cancers and then moved into integrative medicine. This isn’t the same as homeopathic or naturopathic.

Here is a link from Mayo Clinic that explains integrative medicine.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have recently changed to an oncologist who claims an interest in integrative medicine. There are still many areas, however, that have no clear-cut answers, so it all seems like trial-and-error.
