Question : I was diagnosed last August with Breast Cancer ER Her 2 negative. I underwent bilateral mastectomies.
My scans were all negative in Dec last year. I chose not to do chemo. I feel good but I work 50-60 hours a week and I am getting very tired and no appetite.
What vitamin supplements should I be taking?
I did not care for the oncologist I was assigned and I have had my PCP see me monthly all blood work is normal.
I was told I was stage III with a 6cm tumor in left breast.
Just want to know what I can take for energy.
