Urgent: Please Help Re LDN & Radiation

[Guest guest]

I haven't really gotten an answer re LDN and radiation - I'm hoping someone

could please, please address this, as I'm about to undergo high dose radiation

treatment starting in less than a week.

LDN theoretically helps w/cancer in part because it slows down cell division (of

all cells, including cancer). Radiation works specifically on cells that divide

quickly, so my radiation oncologist is concerned that LDN will lessen the

effectiveness of the radiation treatment - and that it might slow down any

regrowth of bone afterwards. My regular oncologist is concerned that slowing

down cell regrowth in the bones may have allowed those hip tumors to advance

more quickly.

Which, if any of these things, are true? And if not true, why is this not the

case, if LDN slows down cell division?

If it is possible that radiation and LDN are not compatible (or at least, that

the LDN makes the radiation somewhat less effective), should I stop the LDN for

the period of time that the radiation is taking affect? Should I worry about

bone regeneration/bone strength while I'm taking LDN?

Thank you,

Eileen
