I had my 6monthly bloods and check in with my doctor and I was amazed. Besides my cholesterol, everything else was better than what it “should be ” for my age. Even my blood pressure. They told me the chemo that I had a few years ago wouldn’t allow me to get to 70 and I’m now a few months past that. You are literally keeping me alive!!
