I have been on capecitibine since November last year. Initially the results were very good with my CA125 quickly dropping from 200 to 97.

A friend has made up some kombucha for me to try. She has also given me broccoli sprouts to sprinkle on my salads. I will let you know how I fare with these. She also has metastatic cancer and has found these useful.
Good luck!
