Hello,

As it is cancer, therefore, it is not healing plus you have tried all also. Now, please consult some other oncologist and inform him that all these modalities have not given results.

Let’s hope for best and start any over-the-counter multivitamin, antioxidant combination.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Varinder Joshi
