Ginger Root

I would suggest anyone who has or had ovarian cancer read the attached link. I had stage 3b ovarian cancer 5 years ago, I was 40yrs old. I did a lot of my own research and I honestly believe that ginger root works. I get them from Holland & Barrett 550mgs and I take 2 a day. I also took 250mgs of Iron a vitamin c tablet during my chemotherapy. The hospital initially said I couldn't take anything, so i had a meeting with my oncologist who said that this was fine. I took the iron because once again I read that the worst thing you can be during your chemotherapy is anaemic, this is when people miss sessions. I sailed through my chemotherapy and never missed a single session. This again, I believe was because I was taking iron. If you don't help yourself, who will. Good luck to everyone on here, people can survive this!! Please read attached link. xxx

That is really interesting, Ellen. Thanks. I take ginger tablets for an unpredictable stomach with migraines, so maybe it's helping in other ways too!
