My Sister's Bone And Brain Cancer

Can any one give me the straight goods on the Issels Treatment? Has it been effective? How long does the treatment take? What does it cost? How long have you been in remission, if it worked for you? Is this just another 'pie in the sky' treatment or does it really work? 

 In the past 5 years, my sister has undergone conventional treatment for  breast cancer and cervical cancer.   A few months ago she was diagnosed with brain tumors and underwent further radiation. The tumors have shrunk but she was recently informed that she now has bone cancer. We have been told that she will not undergo and further conventional treatment other than bone strengthening treatment. In other words, time is running out for her and the doctors are giving up on her.

 I am looking for a glimer of hope that I can pass onto her. I would really appreciate your feedback.  

I'm sorry to hear about your sister. I'm not sure if my experience can help you but here is goes. I was diagnosed with bone cancer 16 years ago when I was only 12 years old. I cannot remember the names of the chemo therapy I received. I know it was several. Each one was stronger and stronger. I received them from January to April. In april I had to get my leg amputated because the chemo was not shrinking the tumor quick enough. I received chemo for exactly one year. I am now 28 and healthy. I would say always get a second opinion. Good luck!

I remember my grandmothers bone cancer.  This was about 12 years ago.  I don't remember how advanced the treatments were but she was in a constant state of immense pain.  I would say always pursue methods of treatment, but also look to make the aflicted family member as comfortable as possible.  Be there every day if possible, and remember that family is the best thing to have close by during intense pain.  God bless, and don't forget to pray.
