Hellooooo Randi!!!
Great to hear from you and see you on here as always. And what absolutely brilliant news you have to share with us all! Am sorry for just getting round to replying to your post now. 11 years is superb and no doubt Lainy would tell you to you go girl or something like that!
What a fighter you are and what you have had to go through is huge. And what you have done in these 11 years is amazing as well so big congrats to you as well. You even made it to Scotland as well, ha!!
Here’s hoping that 2021 will be a good year for you and for all of us as well. And who knows what you will achieve in the next 11 years!
Thank you Randi!

Hi there,
I am sorry to hear about your uncle. Yes there are some postings from the board members here regarding their experiences or that of their loved ones and Folfox here on the site. You will be able to search for them if you want to and read them by using the search forum function here on the discussion board. Just type in FOLFOX into the search box and it will throw up all the relevant discussions on that subject.
I hope that is helpful and I hope that someone will be along soon that can also possibly share personal experiences of it as well.
My best wishes to you,
Gavin

Hi Arlene,
Just to what Mary and Hannah have already said to you re herbal products, supplements and everything like that. I would certainly speak with your dads medical team before your dad tried anything like that, even if the reputable evidence shows no harmful side effects and all of that. Best that they know what you and your dad are thinking as they will be able to give the best advice on all of these sorts of products.
I did a quick google for corn silk tea and came up with this piece which may be of interest to you –

The MSKCC Herbal Database Mary mentions is very good and can be found here –

And of course we here at CCF have a complementary and alternative treatments board here too –
You speak of Essica herbal liquid. Do you mean Essiac herbal? And if you did, here is a link for that from CRUK in the UK which is a very reputable source of info indeed.
My best to you and your Dad,
Gavin
