Here is what has helped us...
When Boise was diagnosed with oral melanoma, I began researching supplements and diet as a way to help her fight her cancer and give her the best quality of life. I opted against surgery, as oral melanoma does not have a good prognosis, even with surgery, which can sometimes be very invasive.
I have been using CAS Options extra strength immune and antioxidant support, as well as MUSH dietary supplement. According to what I have read, the mushrooms Cordyceps, Reishi, Shitake and Maitake help cut off the blood supply to the tumor, and may stimulate the immune system. I also give Boise Nutro holistic superfood which contains pomegranate, blueberry, spinach, tomato, flaxseed, salmon and lamb, as well as brown rice. I supplement her food with meat, fruit, broccoli, sweet potatoes, and sometimes lentils. Boise's energy and attitude are great. She has a good appetite and continues to be her funny, goofy self. I could swear the tumor has shrunken, and at the very least, has not grown. Hope this helps...Cindy
