Cofactors - B complex?
should I be starting on a B complex? I had iron infusion end of May and have been on EOD B12 injections since then. I am also taking folic acid 5mg every day and a spray vitamin D & K. I have been reading that some people take a B complex, but the one I saw also has folate in it and don’t want to

upcoming PET scan
so, here’s where we are… My Joe has been experiencing increasing pain in his left hip and thigh. Today he said the thigh is numb. PET scan scheduled this coming Tuesday. He thinks it’s a hairline fracture. Is it wrong of me to hope he’s right, vs his cancer having landed there? He’s 4 months post-Pluvicto

Two weeks ago I was diagnosed with non small cell lung cancer. I have an appointment with md Anderson in 4 weeks which seems like eternity. I ended up at md Anderson emergency room due to some blood clots. They ran a ct with contrast & this is what report says Bilateral segmental/subsegmental pulmonary

Is radiation to prostate useful if one has bone mets ?
I see many people with bone mets advanced cancer say they took many sessions of radiation to the prostate. My MO’s never mentioned radiation ever , except spot radiation to pain spots in bones if any when that happens. Does radiation to the prostate in cancer that is already in bones improve survival

B vitamins sensitivity ( and B1 therapy?)
I have found that I am very sensitive to B vitamins and I am not able to tolerate taking long term of B - complex or some of its combinations as homocysteine formulas.. What makes me sick is Folic Acid, no matter if methylated or no, I have difficulty to breathe and weakness, heard arhytmias, which vanishes

Worse anxiety after B12 injections
I've been on B12 injections for 2 weeks and I'm sure it's made my anxiety and panic worse. I'm now in a constant state of panic and it's absolutely deliberating.

After some B12 advice following results
Hi everyone, thanks in advance for reading. These sites and forums have been so useful since having found out I was deficient in a few things a few months ago. Following a blood test, it showed I had low B12, deficient in Folate and Vit D and low iron, but not deficient. This topic was not one I knew
