Re: support for foregoing radiation?
I had stomach issues before I was diagnosised so I was concerned when I started chemo that I would have even more problems. I take acidophyllis every day (3) for diverticulosis and I never had a single problem. No UTI's, nothing. My oncologist thinks that it very well could have helped. I will contnue on acidophyllis until I am told not to take it. It has helped my diverticulosis as well. Just a suggestion. I did not have radiation and will be having reconstruction next week. My plastic surgeon said the normal wait time afer radiation is usually 4 to 6 months depending on how the skin looks after rads. I, like you cannot wait to have my recon. Good luck to you. Stay well and god bless. Darlene
