@RoseAnneDT, my dear lady. before ingesting any herbal tinctures please talk to your doctor for what kind of herb your trying. Some of them will not work well with cancer med. Could even be dangerous.I pray to God for help for you.Your such a sweet person and it makes me so sad to her about your pain.
