[cancercured] Need Input

Hi,

I need some input from the group.
I have Stage IV breast cancer with mets to the bones. I have been
doing alternative for one year.

Now the cancer is in my lymph nodes in my chest and it is closing the
Superior Vena Cava that drains blood from my head. I have been
having pressure in my head and lots of coughing for the past four
months, so that is why.

I have wanted to avoid chemo and have never had it, but at this point
I don't think I have a choice.

Please, I don't want suggestions on other alternative methods at this
point - I will try and pick up on that later. Anyway, I have pretty
much run out of money in that department.

My doctor is going to talk to me about my choices for chemo.He also
said I could choose radiation, but I think that would be worse
because of the area of my heart.

My question is: What can I do to alleviate the bad symptoms of chemo
while I am taking it. Any particular supplements, etc. I would
really appreciate advice in this area - especialy anyone who has gone
through chemo and found supplements or whatever that helped a great
deal.

Thank You,

Karen
