I never knew there were so many types of oncologists. Surgical Oncologist (removes cancerous growths). Radiation Oncologist (oversees any radiation treatment prescribed). Medical Oncologist (lays out the overall plan for treatment, administers treatment drugs, and is the overall quarterback of the oncology team).
My medical oncologist also reviewed the pathology report with me — the report that I’ve scoured and reviewed and Googled dozens of times already. I took notes, but the main words he used to describe likely post-surgery treatments were “radiation”, “Herceptin”, “maybe some chemo”, and “anastrozole”. O wrote all those down for further study. I asked about possible immunotherapy treatment (which tends to be milder on the body) and learned that wasn’t an option for me due to the HER2 + cells present in my cancer. His plan all seemed like a cookie-cutter recipe following the cut-burn-poison protocol. The intent was to give me the best odds of survival. Survival. Breathe deeply.
Shortly after this appointment I chose to also start a complementary regimen of Ivermectin and Fenbezadole daily. In studies, (see Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine, June 17, 2024 edition, volume 39, number 3) both have shown to be effective in boosting the body’s immune system and increasing the effectiveness of traditional treatments. Oncologists are not big fans of this supplement since it’s not “standard of care”, but lack of negative side effects and many studies showing evidence of their usefulness convinced me to add them to my daily supplements.
I also spoke with several friends about the benefits of Vitamin C infusions. Although not covered by insurance, I was convinced that I should add it to my weekly protocol during chemo and radiation. More on that later.
