Good news from Down Under

[jhandley]

Hi everyone
Just want to let you all know I had a scan today after three herceptin and taxol treatments (3 weeks apart) and the spot on my liver had reduced from 15 mm to 4 mm and after today's treatment should be gone by Christmas. Thankyou all for your support.
Things that I also took from day 3-18 of each cycle:
Q10 50-100 mg; reishi mushroom extract (for WBC); Olive leaf extract , B vit, Magnesium (for platelets) and Zinc cream rubbed on feet. Plus flaxseed meal and oil about 2 weeks out of three that was all I could manage and the week of chemo. I tried to take carrot/green and beetroot juices daily.
I have 2 or 4 more treatmnets with taxol and then just herceptin.
cheers
Jackie

That is great news! What is the zinc cream helpful for and which B vitamins did you take? BTW, what is WBC? Thank you.

Hi Ginger
WBC=white blood count, zinc is for lymphatics (see Gina's posts on this); and I just take a mixed Vit B.
Cheers
