Re: Was it the herbs and diet that helped?

[Guest guest]

What part of the small bowel did you have removed? Did you have a

whipple done? I am interested because I have duodenal cancer along

with my colon cancer. I did Folfox also. The chemo did clear up my

liver but I now have one spot coming back. I am in the process of

finding out what it did to my duodenum. I will look into the herbs

you mentioned. Thanks
