Default Don't have info but searching for one

My husband has NSCLC and completed chemo and radiation treatments 3 months ago. Chemo drug did not work though which caused surgery to opt out as option. Right now I believe the cancer cell is in remmission but for how long, we do not know. Since taxol chemo drug did not work, our oncologist prescribed him with Tarceva. At the same time, we found out about Mannatech Ambrotose program. We have not started on Tarceva yet but we have been doing the Ambrotose program for 2 months now. It seems to work but we cannot be sure because doctors do not want to say anything since it is not FDA approved. We want to take Tarceva at the same time but doctors do not want us to do that since he is not sure of any interaction. Now if we turn the table around and ask Mannatech associates, they say the opposite. They do not want you taking any drug (prescription or over the counter) at all; yet they cannot and do not want to say anything negative or even a slightest side effect of the natural pills.
All we want is to live a little bit longer. All we are asking is how are these drugs (Tarceva, Oxycontin, Celebrex) interacting with Ambrotose products. Can we take the natural treatment along with the chemo drugs. What shall we expect as interactions or side effects?
Does someone know someone who can give us info or where we can go to find answers. I am at the point of frustration already. I do not know how else I can help my husband find relief.

Thanks so much

Merci me
