On-line reviews are quite positive. Our sales reflect these positive reviews. We recommend that your sister check with her physician. If her physician agrees, then definitely buy some for her. Chemo and radiation for cancer extend over weeks so we recommend you purchase a case of twelve 16 oz. bottles. We also sell Case of 8 ounce bottles and single bottles in the 12 oz. size. Perhaps you can split it with other patients being treated if you do not need all of it.
Thanks you for your question and we wish your sister the best.
Sincerely, Barbara
