I P CHEMO PATIENTS

I HAVE OVARIAN CANCER STAGE 3C. I WAS DIAGNOSED LAST MAY AND HAD 4 ROUNDS OF DAY 1 IV TAXOL, NEXT DAY I P CISPLATIN, 1 WEEK LATER I P TAXOL. THEN I DID 4 ROUNDS CARBOPLATIN/TAXOL IV. I AM SET FOR A PET/CT THIS FRIDAY. MY LAST CHEMO AND CA 125(5) WAS JAN. 3. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD IP CHEMO AND FINISHED? DID YOU HAVE GOOD RESULTS? I AM 53 NO FAMILY HISTORY, I THINK I GOT THIS FROM ESTROGEN PATCHES FOR 5 YRS, WITH NO PROGESTERIN. DR. SAID PROBABLY NOT. BUT IT IS ON THEIR WEBSITE NEWS THIS MONTH THAT THERE IS A CONNECTION. VERY ANXIOUS TO SEE IF I AT LEAST GET A BREAK AND TRY SOME NATURAL CANCER FIGHTERS. LOOKED AT ZEOLITE, ESSAIC, REVESTOROL(GRAPES), AND BODY PH. HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING EXCEPT CHEMO SO FAR.

Based on what I've read on the web and my own research, I'd look more into DIM and Fermented Soy supplements (Nature's Way makes these and it's a name brand) and also Maitake D-Fraction (www.maitake.com) which is being used in clinical trials for breast and prostate cancer.  I'd hate to say leave it to supplements alone, but together with chemo they have been shown to have greater effect and helps with the side effects of many chemo (esp. the maitake d-fraction).
