Liver detox after chemo?
I am starting Taxotere next week and received some advice from a friend fighting serious colon cancer. He told me how he detoxed his liver after each cycle. He used TUDCA Bile salts and PectaSol from ECONugenics Company. https://econugenics.com/collections/pectasol?Wickedsource=Microsoft&Wickedid

health spa
As the end of my chemo radiation is in sight I have been wondering about treating myself to a break at some sort of health retreat or spa that includes helping cancer patients. Just wondering if anyone has any experience or recommendations? It would be nice to have something pleasant to look forward

Will begin a Pfizer starting on Monday. I will post more later as it goes. We are adding a drug to Xtandi to treat solid tumors. I have been on and off Xtandi a few times. I am chemo naive. In the past had a very heavy tumor load and received 3 rounds of Lu-177 from Ishita Sen, Fortis health in Delhi
