I suppose it's a good sign that instead of this topic being the core issue of my being, I'm starting to forget some of the details. I believe I waited til the brachy to start taking the pills. The...
I will chime in with the chorus...they caught it early, and as my doctor said, if you're going to get cancer, this is the one to get. Best of luck....
Interesting thread, now that I am almost 5 months out of the gate. JustAl, I'm pleased to hear that the Omega3 might be helping out. The trouble with supplements and such is that so much info is...
