Hehe.. thats a pin that one of the patients of my oncologist has -- I was told, found it was pretty accurate since he will be controlling my life at least for the next 4 months.
I went to a chemo training class at the office tuesday evening and gathered some information from the nurse who did the presentation regarding the different oncologists and their treatment styles.
So I am getting to know Dr. Molthrop and his treatment style now.
No vitamins no complimentary medicine.. Actually no medicine other than the chemo unless I really prove that I need it. ( other oncologists prescribe and instruct their patients to take the antinausea medications proactively even if they do not feel nauseaus, I think he is trying to limit the meds given which I can understand.. but in my case they ARE necessary)
His point is simple regarding vitamins/supplements. " Cancer cells are your cells, if you take antioxidants and other boosters they will boost the cancer cells also not only your good/healthy cells, we are trying to kill the c cells with the chemo"
So all I can do is to rest, and eat sensibly not piling on junk calories and maintain my current weight. I am really being thankful that I did all my long distance endurance training, the discipline for it is basically the same.
