That's awful, man.

Effects of dietary sulforaphane in a triple-negative breast cancer models

"Sulforaphane showed up to 31% tumor growth inhibition after sulforaphane treatment associated with lowered proliferating potential of cancer cells, reduced areas of necrosis, and changed immune cell type infiltration, showing less malignant type of tumor in contrast to the non-treated group. Also, the study revealed that sulforaphane decreased the number of lung metastases."

Google it and you will find several similar studies.


Here is a brand I like

Avmacol

I am sorry to hear this. We have been dealing with Stage IV ovarian cancer since May 2024. She was given 2- 5 years and is doing as well as can be expected 2 ½ years later. We know that there is no cure but I am going to do my damnedest to get her past the 5 year mark.

Chemo is no walk in the park. The first treatment almost killed her. Fortunately (a poor, but appropriate, word to use in this instance), the IV infiltrated and she didn’t get the full dose. She had chemo (the poison kind) from June 2024 until December 2024. She still gets an infusion of Avastin (non-poison chemo) every three weeks. She had the dramatic surgery in September 2024 and had radiation in July of this year. The cancer (and the treatment) changed her. She went from about 120 to 80 lbs. I have her back up to about 106. She lost her hair, but it's pretty much grown back. The chemo affected the nerves in her hands and feet; her hearing; and she now has “chemo brain” – forgets a lot of things. That’s tough on a girl who was an RN for 47 years and also has a law degree.

But, she’s alive. We joke and laugh a lot. We are grateful that we have one another (I’ve had my own medical issues).

All I can tell you is what you already know – be there for her; support her in every way you can, go with her to her treatments and doctor appointments, keep her laughing but you will also cry together, and – if you’re the praying kind – pray (a lot). You will both be in my prayers. God Bless.
