Well, I didn't make the clinical trial do to the shinanigans during my masectomy operation. The day of my surgery my blood pressure went sky high and had injured my heart chambers..a bit. Healing but still need blood pressure pills ect. It had always been border line but really hadn't been checked due to covid and getting Dr appt. So won't be getting into the trial this year. Nothing wrong with mt heart just hasn't been a year since my operation, a stipulation.

Back to the drawing board. I have an appt with my onocologyst next week to get on new meds. The sooner the better as my liver tumor grabs up more liver real estate. I read melatonin shows some promise with liver tumors so I am adding that to my daily pills. I know I have the grace of God and Angels looking out for me or I wouldn't have made through the masectomy operation 🥰

Deb ❤🙏

Interesting about melatonin. I have been aware fir some time of the many positives of melatonin. But my cousin who has mbc was just told to take 200 mgs daily fir just that. I am confused as to what formula she uses. I take a sublingual each night. But nit close to that amount. Any ideas as to what studies are suggesting on formula and dosing?

I am waiting for onco now, very late, to start new chemo drug. I’ll ask her but don’t expect much from that.
