[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 205705, member: 16042"] Thanks for that, while I appreciate the optimism, "After the cancer treatment" is probably a pipe dream. There is one possibility down the road (CAR-T) which I may have to resort to, I would go for it sooner than later if I could, but there are too many hurdles for now including bankrupting us. What I have is not like solid tumor cancer nor a plethora of other blood cancers that can be effectively killed or eradicated from the body. It is a chronic and incurable cancer. I may reach some level of remission when I can pause the anti cancer drugs, but from there anything that stimulates the immune system has the potential to increase my cancer cell proliferation again. My cancer cells are B-cells. and they ARE part of the immune system! Stimulate the immune system to produce white cells, you are also stimulating the cancer. I read the discussion in that article and followed up with a more general search on things which I know to be problems with a host of herbs, roots, mushrooms, anti oxidants and other supplements etc. There are numerous questionable aspects of Astralagus with my cancer and its potential drug interactions. In the article, the effects associated with B-cells are not strongly conclusive, and mentioned only as an aside to the other immune effects. That it affects IL-6 alone and that is not well defined related to B-cells is enough to make me avoid it altogether. [/QUOTE]
