My mom has stage 4 cholangiocarcinoma and just finished her third cycle of GemCis chemo. The doctors say surgery isn't an option and are only recommending palliative care. The tumor hasn't shrunk much, but she did respond somewhat to the first three cycles. She's lost a lot of weight, has no appetite, and feels really weak. Her oncologist is against homeopathy, but I'm wondering if adding it now could help shrink the tumor or at least support her during chemo. Is it safe to combine homeopathy with chemo, or should we wait until after treatment?

consult oncosx for that.
