It's important to understand that only FDA-approved cancer treatments have been proven effective through rigorous clinical trials to treat lymphoma. While you may hear about various alternative treatments, they have not been proven safe or effective for preventing cancer recurrence.
Always tell your healthcare team about any supplements or medications you're considering taking. Some alternative treatments can actually interfere with cancer treatments or potentially cause harm. The FDA classifies supplements and alternative treatments as "food" rather than medicine, meaning they aren't regulated the same way as cancer drugs. This means their safety and effectiveness aren't verified before they're sold. Some supplements can even make cancer treatments less effective or cause dangerous interactions.
For the best outcomes, stick to your prescribed treatment plan and discuss any additional therapies with your oncology team before starting them.
