It was suggested I have no Chemo- Now 2.5 years and my CAT and PET shows activity w nodules in Liver and activity in Lymph glands. I have started on 5FU and the Platinium Chemo, I am being tested for Her2 - results not back yet. What other options might I have and what diet and spplements should I eat?

Chemotherapy is the treatment option at present. If your tumor is found to be Her2 positive than Trastuzumab can be added to chemotherapy which is a monoclonal antibody against Her 2 neu receptors.

If you have a good appetite, no special food supplements are required. Otherwise a consult a dietitian for a diet plan with supplements.
