In denial

I have three black lines on my right thumbnail. I have a biopsy for melanoma in 2 days.  Of course, I am trying to stay positive. Friends have helped med becomed aware of yew salve, tea, capsules and essiac, as well as CBS. See anyone have experience using these products? Can you use them together? Catherine

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Catherine although I'm sorry for the reason you are posting.

    Waiting for tests can be tough but I'm glad to see you don't have long to go before your biopsy. I noticed your question about taking/using these products together and wanted to give you our cancer nurses telephone number as they will be able to answer this question.

    Their freephone number is 0808 800 4040 and can be called Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m so do make sure you give them a ring or speak to a medical professional - wait until your biopsy on Wednesday to discuss this with the staff - before taking anything.

    I've included some information we have about essiac on our website for you to read as well.

    Kind regards,
