I recently finished radiation therapy to the brain for a small cell tumor (5cm/5cm, left hemisphere) and I wish to fight it w/ other options as well.
Will vitamins reduce to effectiveness of the radiation delivered to my brain?
What about anti-oxidants like Flaxseed, grapeseed extract, selenium(which I'm told is a particularly potent free radical scavenger), and others?
What about Taurine and Colostrum which are said to be respectively protective of the brain and promote healing? Would those lessen the effects of the radiation treatment?
I keep getting differring responses from my oncologist, radiotherapist, neurosurgeon and my pharmacist!! Very confusing.
Any help, answers or suggestions will be greatly appreciated! S/he who takes the time and energy to help as much as possible will be rewarded with a "best answer" rating and my everlasting gratitude! I know it isn't much, but it's all I have to give.
Thanks a lot, everyone!
