I started back in December after I saw something about Vitamin C on Channel 6 news here in Philadelphia. I got a name of this doctor in Phoenixville, PA which was very expensive. Then I found this nurse who was much less expensive and I could afford to do twice a week. I started with her in January. The only test is the blood work to see where everything is. She looks at the comprehensive Metabolic Panel, CBC w/diff which is what your doctor will take when you go to them. Then she also asked for natural killer cells count, homocysteine which in cancer patients are usually low which mine are in the middle right now. To give you some history I am on weekly Taxol, and I don't get the side effects and my blood counts have been normal so I don't need those shot for the white or red blood cells. It has increased my energy levels big time. It also helps with depression, but I try to go to the gym most everyday when I can. I think it has help keep my CA 125 going down along with chemo. I am also hoping that between the chemo and vitamin C I want to go back into remission. I have been on chemo for a year now and it has not been doing much, but with the vitamin C my numbers have started moving down now. I hope this will help and as soon as I get more results I will post them. Good luck and take care my thoughts and prayer are with everyone on this site. Diane
Please tell us all how you are getting along with it. How it has affected you? What tests are run? Anything you can think of. Are you in a trial?
I am getting the Vitamin C treatment. I started in January and increased from two time a week to three times a week. What information would you like to know at this time? Diane

I have been sending them out almost daily, however I notice there is a new one that I will send out right away. Is anyone else getting vitamin C treatments? friend is getting treatments now two to three times a week. She has her CA125 checked again next week. One interesting thing I found out from the Vitamin C IV nurse in Philadelphia is that if you have a port she can actually ship you the vitamin C through the mail so you can have your Vitamin C treatments in your own home! Unfortunately my friend doesn't have a port at this time but if she sees her numbers decline with just the Vitamin C she thinks she will ask her oncologist to put one in. She does not receive her Vitamin C treatments from her oncologist but rather from another Doctor here in Portland Maine. The nurse in Philadelphia connected her to him.
Is anyone else getting Vitamin C treatments at this time?
