RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Well?Hi Juniper,
It's my last day taking chemo pills in this cycle, after that I will have 14 days off. I will have a scan in the next two weeks, so I will look into it and maybe start trying it in my next chemo cycle. Thanks for the link.

My wife tried intermittent fasting while her oncologist was monitoring her cancer marker. It slowed down her cancer. Her WBC increased once she stopped the fast and that seemed to slow down the cancer growth. I wish we had known about this a bit earlier as she didn't try it during cancer chemo treatment before she went experimental.
Intermittent fasting has shown benificial during chemo treatment. It can be as simple as not eating (still dring water and take all medicines) for about 24 befort the chemo treatment.

This is dad's second time having Stage IV high grade neuroendocrine rectal cancer. MD Anderson wants him to receive 4 treatment cycles before they reassess to decide if the current treatment regiment should be modified. MD Anderson couldn't believe the cancer responded to the treatment dad received back in 2015, because of the tumor type. I know it was a miracle and not the chemo, but they are trying the same chemo treatement again, even though they admitted that they wouldn't have initially prescribed it due to be neuroendocrine.
I've never understood what seems to be an inordinate amount of time for the blackout excuse to be used as to why insiders may not be buying. It does make sense now that financials are being prepared, but not necessarily over the last 60 days. I suppose they could have some major announcement coming that would forbid them from trading, but I would be surprised.
How can investors find out what the company policy is around blackout periods?
