Hi Lindyjo, my onc said the following to me--when people talk of the cancer 'coming back' where does it come back from? The pathology lab? I laughed but knew what he meant. What is important is to get the cells up front. If it 'returns' it didn't come back but was always there. Hopefully the treatment(s) we get will take care of them, so they do not show up again.
Sometimes the treatments alone work. There may be things that we can do to boost treatment. I had read that eating cruciferous vegetables and/or vegetable juicing may boost the effects of radiation. I think I also read that staying away from caffeine during radiation was recommended, too--but would research that to verify.
My best thoughts are with you and hope this is soon all behind you. Take care!
