I'd like to add my welcome, @ mmbinnj. Your journey has been challenging and difficult and yet you ended your initial posting with a thank you and ❤️ and that's so very kind. I'm sending you positive energy just as you did with your initial post.

In addition to a naturopathic doctor is there an opportunity meet with an Integrative Medicine physician? I've been seeing an Integrative Medicine specialist at Mayo Clinic (Rochester) and in fact have an appointment with her next week. While I don't share your diagnosis or symptoms, my doctor has been most helpful to me especially with nutrition (my diagnosis was endometrial cancer in 2019 and a recurrence in 2021).

I'll share a little anecdote from my consultation with my specialist in Integrative Medicine. While trying to follow the plant-based diet I decided to eat more broccoli which is my favorite vegetable. I developed diarrhea and periods of fecal incontinence. Of course my first thought was cancer. It turns out that was too much fiber for me and when I backed off on the broccoli and ate more varied vegetables on a daily basis the diarrhea cleared up. I share this because it's possible that with a specialist, perhaps the naturopathic physician, you can share what you have been eating and figure out what works best for your digestive system.

How often are getting chemotherapy?
