my Mom

Hi Scott,
I'm so sorry to hear about your mom's experience. I would be happy to share info on what I have been doing in very similar circumstances as your mom's, (except they felt they had removed all cancer in my abdominal surgery) I'm new to this posting thing and so if you would rather contact me directly that would be fine. I have some info in the form of an email that I have forwarded to a couple of friends that I would gladly forward to you. It is the result of several weeks of research and is the path I have chosen to try to save my life, (and have been doing this since mid October 2004) Believe me I'm not selling anything, only wishing to share what I have learned.....Best wishes to you and your mom,
Cali

Hi Cali,
My mother also just got an almost similar diagnosis as the other I have read. I am looking for any information anyone can share. My mother is 65 years old and she had a stroke 12 years ago and is paralyzed on the left side. She just never gets a break. Because of her Paralysis, no one wants to do any surgery on her. I have been told that chemo and radiation are not an option for this type of cancer. I was surprised to read that some people had been treated with these treatments. The Doctors have given her a survival time of a few hours to 3 months. I find this hard to believe because she doesn't appear to be ill. The one thing that I wonder is if her paralysis may be blocking the pain. I feel so sad and helpless. Any information would be very appreciated.

Hi Jill,
I just got your message and I am sorry to hear about your mom's situation. I am in Oregon and it's the end of a long day so I was wondering if I can respond to your question hopefully tomorrow? My email add is cali@bendbroadband.com and I'll do my best to get a note off to you tomorrow, if that's okay?
Take good care,
Cali

Dear Cali,
I hope you are feeling OK.
I also live in Portland and was diagnosed with Gallbladder cancer only 2 days ago after my gallbladder was removed. Could you, please send me the information you are referring to.
Really appreciate it.

Hi David,
Thank you for your note. I'm so sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis...It's a terrible shock isn't it? When you think you're just having "routine" gallbladder surgery!
I would definitely be happy to let you know what I have done and what I am doing.

Thanks and keep your chin up,
Cali

Hi Cali, I just found this site, and looked at the postings, my Father had been diagnosed on september 04, he had surgery and removed the tumor, but a CT scan on February had shown that the cancer had spread to the liver and one lung, he was taking Xeloda pills only 6 weeks after his surgery, eventually that did not help, now he is getting treated with gemzar, Cali could you please send me info about the protocel you mentioned, can he use it while under chemo treatment.
Thank you very much!

Hi Cali,
I hope your going ok. My 59yr old mother has been diagnosed with GB cancer after having gallbladder removal surgery. The cancer has spread to her lymph nodes but at this stage her liver is clear? We think. The doctor has recommended chemo and radiation therapy. Any info and the experiences your having would be much appriciated. I'm in Melbourne, Australia.

Hi Linda, your message gave me hope. My mum is 59 and has just be diagnosed after gallbladder removal operation. They have recommended chemo and radiation as cancer is showing in the lymph nodes but not the liver or bile ducts. If you don't mind I like to hear about you experiences in regard to treatment.
I'm in Melbourne, Australia. Thanks Kate

Hi Tony,
I was out of town for several days and am trying to remember if I responded to your note? I think I forwarded the information about the Protocel but am not certain. If you didn't hear from me will you let me know and I'll be happy to forward the info on what I am doing.
Sincerely,
Cali

Hi Kate,
Sorry for the delay, I was out of town for a week and am trying to catch up again. After my gallbladder removal and subsequent cancer diagnosis, they were able to do an abdominal resection surgery. I'm not sure whether that might be an option for your mom or not? I was told it had spread outside the gallbladder wall but had not gone to the lymph nodes or elsewhere. So the surgery showed "clear margins"..... They didn't do chemo or radiation with me because they said they removed everything and that chemo has not been shown to be effective with this kind of cancer. That's about all I know about that part. I did a lot of research into alternative cancer therapies and I have been taking protocel for the past 5 months and so far so good. If you would like me to forward a copy of my email with the various information about protocel, etc., I'd be happy to do that. I truly believe in it and what it has done for other people. Just let me know your email address and I'll forward.
Try not to read too much about the statistics on this cancer as it seems so much of what they know is based on the cancer being found in older women/men. I'm 54 and your mom is only 59, hopefully that is in our favor as compared to not finding it until you're in your 70's or 80's.
Keep your chin up and I wish you and your mom the best,
Cali
