    That's interesting. All my research has suggested that prebiotic and probiotic play an especially important roll in chemotherapy. It doesn't protect the cancer. It protects your stomach. Greatly helps with mouth and esophagus sores. And is a God send for the diarrhea. In certain patients there may be a slight increase in chance of a fungal or bacterial infection. Minor infection at that. But that's EXTREMELY rare. And probably wouldn't even notice with all the side effects and the rest of what you go through. Stage 4 NSCLC here. First post. Oh. Almost forgot. I'm seeing a correlation with taking vitamin D and being able to reduce the size of chemo drug dose because it amplifies the effectiveness of said chemo drugs. Probably why they recommend you not to stay in the sun too long. Anyway. I guess that's a different topic.
