Hi Dpm_249

Welcome to the forum.  I do hope your girlfriend improves. I have a friend who was diagnosed stage 3 breast cancer some years ago, and although she's not cured, she is still doing well and coping with her treatments. 

Strictly speaking, I think you're suggesting a complementary therapy, not an alternative therapy. For cancer patients, there is a world of difference between these two terms.

I hope you get some responses to the details in your post.  Have you discussed your proposals with the doctor who is treating yur girlfriend. I am  not suggesting that there is anything wrong with it only that s/he may be able to provide some useful insights.  Best wishes to you both.

Hi DPM,

Good luck with your efforts. It would be worth double-checking with her oncologist about possible contraindications with her chemo. Even if you are medically qualified, this is a specialist field of pharmacology and it would be easy to slip up. 

Is there a reason for opting for intramuscular injections? My limited knowledge is that the B12 injections in particular can cause quite painful swellings. When I was on chemo I found that I bruised far more easily than normal and even injections using a fine needle often left bruising, irritation and trackmarks.

Best wishes

Dave
