Subject: Alternative Treatment For Ovarian Cancer
Date: 06/26/2004
Hi,
My mom has ovarian cancer stage 3. She had 3 rounds of cisplation, the last round was given for 2 years (once every 3 weeks) and eventually has damaged her bone marrow. because of that she can't get any more chemo.
I'm looking for advice on alternative options that will help slow down the cancer or/and improve her quality of life or/and improve her immune system.
Any advice, dosage information, where things can be bought and so will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Karyn

Dear Karyn,

Go to this website....my sister is using this message for breast
cancer, but can't get my mom to use it for ovarian. I might
consider it for my breast cancer, especially since I'm not
responding to the taxotere, . Unfortunately the cost may be
prohibitive if it is not covered by insurance. http://
www.elkabest.org
She has links out to many more sites regarding this. They are
going to start clinical trials, but they have many, many success
stories using this method.
Also look up Hospital Santa Monica in Rosarito Mexico. My
sister went to see Dr. Steven Ayre (or spelled Ayer) in Illinois.

My sister is an RN and she and her doctor husband own and
run a complementary medical clinic in Fond du Lac Wisconsin.
They are really good at what they do.

You might also want to ask your mom's doctor if any
aromatase inhibitors would work for her. There is one called
"Avastin" that is not chemo, and their company will not turn
anyone down to to Financial or Insurance reasons. I would just
google Avastin (I think they are made by Genentech) This is not
alternative, but is another approach when chemo can't be used.

My mom has never gone into remission from her OVCA, but
she has a great quality of life. She goes out and gets vitamin
IV's from my sister's clinic. She still goes out and gambles and
drinks and is still alive at one and a half years! Hopefully much
longer.

I'll try
to help. I learned a lot about OVCA by signing up to a
newsletter at http://www.acor.org

Good luck to you. I know it's not easy, but hopefully you'll find
something to work.
