I am new to the site. I am er+ pr- and hers- with metasatic b/c in my lung. Initially dx in 2012. NED after mastectomy, chemo and radiation. DX again 9/2020. Went on Taxotere and almost killed me. Started Ibrance and Letrozole in 1/2021. I have seen some reduction in tumors. I just started COC protocal 7 days ago. I am hopeful and will be reporting how it works out for me on this site. Of course hoping to get to NED again with help of COC.

COC Protocol with letrozole and ibrance
Welcome on here and I hope your Ibrance/Letrozole protocol is working well after 9 months on this combination. I have been on this combination for nearly four years (December) and have been ‘stable’ /NEAD for well over three years . I have not done the COC protocol / supplements, so can’t comment on these , but I wish you well . Please do let us know how you get on with it ... just not sure how you will know whether any improvement is due to the traditional treatment or the protocol ? Take care and good luck ! x
Yes, I know what you mean. Most people get to nead within 4 to 9 months as per my research. I will be happy with that and then address whether I continue with IBRANCE because my neutrophils are really taking a hit. I am on 100 mg 2 wks on and two weeks off.🤞
I’m taking 75 mg Ibrance. Mine were below 1 so I was off for 2 weeks. With the reduction I was at 1 so I started back.after 1 week. Still low at 1
Greetings !I'm on Ibrance/Faslodex and also on the CoC protocol and taking supplements from Jane McClelland's how to starve cancer book. She highly endorses the CoC protocol and actually has a FABULOUS online course that I would highly recommend. From this course, I've come up with supplements that block pathways. So far in almost a year since my diagnosis in Nov 2020, I'm 70% to NED ! I'd be happy to share a comprehensive excel spreadsheet "hack" of her book and course. I'm thrilled with the progress thus far. Much success !!
Blessings !

yes please share--by DM if you feel more comfortable. I am dithering about COC and Jane M...here's is a lot of DIY which gives me pause...
I would appreciate the spread sheet. Thank You for offering.
Hi there ! Please PM me with your email as I can't attach a file here. Best ! Julia
I am looking to starting COC protocol after my appointment with MD Anderson. I have already spoken with them and just need to set up appointment with the doc. Best of luck to you on this journey!
Does MD Anderson endorse the COC protocol?
I have no idea. Honestly I am not planning on mentioning it. My experience so far is the medical community is not for any kind of alternative treatments.
Interesting. I hear you on the last point although if I were going to start something supplemental I’d still be informing my doctor. But that’s me
You may want to discuss the COC protocol with your oncologist.
I have tried on numerous occasions to discuss other things with mine and all they say is there is no cure or it isn’t going to change the outcome. And I say well we know for sure that what you say is true if we do nothing.
I have tried also with no luck. They are even against acupuncture and don't offer it at my cancer center. I would get it but I can't afford it. It's not covered by insurance!
We have a co-op in Boise that does it relatively cheap depending on how many you buy. I get 5 sessions for $50. 1 session is $15. I am not sure where you are but I would look into a similar program near you. My functional doctor told me about this one.
Welcome aboard. We have had some very good responses to the COC protocol on here so ai wish you well with it. Do keep us updated with it.Clare
Just ordered this book that I have been hearing so much about!
Get the online course. Spectacular. Google Jane McClelland how to starve cancer online course. Well worth it and I have put over 15 hours into condensing this into an excel spreadsheet hack for supplements etc. love Janes scientific approach
I'm very skeptical of all these books with alternative protocols that work for one person because everyone's cancer is different. I was an Imerman mentor to a woman who decided to use the Gerson protocol and she became deathly I'll and passed away shortly after. Be careful and always discuss your alternative protocols with your onc.
Completely understand. Gerson protocol is far different than CoC . My oncologist is highly supportive of using the 4 medications and the supplements recommended as they are based on scientific research and FDA approval. We monitor my blood monthly and thus far, the results are remarkable !
Oh good!You are lucky your onc agrees with Coc protocol! I'm happy for you!
I didn’t give them a choice - lol ! I just said I’m taking these 4 medications and gave him the nice summary sheet of why a d what they do. He was definitely intrigued ! Most onc don’t spend time researching repurposed medications because they don’t make money pushing them. And rarely study nutrition in med achool
Hello, I am very interested in your spreadsheet. Could you please send to me as well? I have Jane McClelland book, and just started reading. I’m interested in how you’ve consolidated the info.Thanks in advance,
Welcome to this group of remarkable women. I wish you well with your treatments and COC. I would be very interested to hear your results with COC.
Taxotere almost killed me too during my first bc diagnosis!
Yes, I should qualify my post to say that, for those who do get results because I understand many don't. I am hoping I am one of the fortunate ones who can get to NED in a years time frame. I am on Ibrance and letrozole and time will tell how my protocols are working together. I will not be doing anymore chemo as I am choosing quality of life over quantity. I want to participate with my family instead of feeling sick in bed from chemo. I am hoping that you can stay on Ibrance and continue on as stable. Thank you for your thoughts.
