Foods and TX

Why is it when a person is on chemo for cancer they are encourged to take lots of antioxadants and vitamins and herbs to lesson the sx,BUT  when taking chemo for hep c we are told to  advoid herbs and stuff...me myself an I thing its ok to be careful when taking "nutrients"while on the combo tx,BUT again,i think sometimes it may blown out of proportion...i wish i knew why the disparancies (spelling) in the two treatments?.i think th milk thistle is one that sholud not be used while on tx...better safe than sorry...anyone have a cool list of foods and stuff to take while on tx...i believe in making tx less taxing on our body by eatin the best foods possible.

oboy amen!
thx for that prayer really needed it

Have felt bitter towards other people recently, after a while it goes back at my self, and I`ve ended up in very lousy mood and this meds doesn´t make it any better as you probably know.

And I was thinking the only thing that can take me away from this terrible state of mind, is if I somehow can be able to land in some kind of forgivness.

ty and oboy!!

Let everyone keep in mind, Christianity is just one of many faiths.  What some find consoling may be very offensive to others.  Personally, I have no preference, but we are diverse in our beliefs, and there is a time and place for those views.
