I had a mastectomy in August with three lymph node positive. I had decided to try other alternatives besides chemo and radiation. I am taking Paw Paw and have had the amalgam in my teeth removed. I take many other supplements as well as eat very healthfully such as eating black grapes continuously all day long. I would like to try the Vitamin C IV but would like to hear more info about it such as the amount to take and how often. Carline
I had a right mastectomy 3 weeks ago and chose not to do chemo or radiation, along with that I have changed my diet drastically to a more alkaline diet, colonics 3x per week, IV vit c 4x per week, poly mva with coq10. During the iv I have increased urination and thirst due to the diuretic effect of the vitamin c sometimes i feel a bit shakey and nauseas, my doctor feels it may be effecting my blood sugar during treatment, this feeling usually resolves within 1 hour and does not typically happen to most patients, at least according to my doctor. I am curious to know how you are doing with your alternative treatment, are they following your tumor markers or anything else to check your cancer status? It is nice to find other people who are treating alternatively and to find what is working for them. I wish you great success in your journey. Please feel free to email me any time. Donna
