i'm so sorry K ... chaga tea might help - as might turkey tails, to ease nausea. chaga is known to shrink tumors. we're here. let's hope it's encapsulated. xoxoxo

No, not encapsulated and a positive lymph node. I'll definitely be bringing all therapies to the table. Luckily we have medicinal marijuana in this state. I've learned a lot about adjunctive therapies for cancer in the last three years, starting with a friend who had ovarian cancer three years ago (with a relapse this year).
I just feel surrounded by cancer in the last year. In addition to said friend's relapse, a med school classmate was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer in December, a friend who used to sing in my band was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer, and the psychologist who sublets an office from me was just diagnosed with stage III ovarian cancer.
KML what is your level,of medical,training. You've talked a lot about patients and such but I don't remember reading what you do. Are you an advanced practice nurse or???

I am so sorry to hear this. I know you'll take good care of him emotionally and physically in this time. Integrative medicine will be very important through his treatments.
