Tim, how many chemo, radiation treatments did you have? Did you have surgery? My husband Steve has had 8 treatments or as they say 2 sessions & 7 chemo, didn't do the last 2 in second round. Cancelled this Tue. He said he was to sick to go. Been on internet reading & watching videos about how radiation & chemo are supposed to be bad for you. That it is all a money making business. So mixed up right now, don't know which way to go. Been googleing Drs. Bob wright, Dr. Burzynski, Dr. Leonard Codwell, Dr. Tullio Simoncini Dr. Robert Young , Dr. Mamdooh Ghoneum. To name a few. My head is spinning.

I had stage 4 throat, tongue and I had 30 days of Radiation and 3 chemos which were spaced every 2 weeks. Chemo made me sick for about 3 days then I would start getting better, but I hated each one, they were 8 hours each, the radiation didn't really make me feel bad untill about the 20th of 30, but its all gone, you just don't ever think it will be but I cannot complain as my whole ordeal was only about 5-6 months before the dr said I was cancer free, thank God! good luck Tim

You can ask your local pharmacy to order them. They're not prescription. The pharmacy in U of M, Minneapolis told us they would cost about $100 for a month's supply. I think that was for a 2200 calorie diet.
You can also get it off the internet. I think I saw some on Amazon.
