I've read about Poly MVA, Cancell/Protocel, Vit C, Essiac tea, Hoxeys, Electromagnetic, Gerson...you name it. There are so many it's confusing. Probably everyone on this website has gone thru the same exact confusion...but has anyone figured it all out yet? I know the bottom line is the immune system...but which way to go?
My sister was diagnosed in Sept with BC mets to lungs.(3rd recurrence after chemo & rad twice since 2003) Her doctor told her that there are NO TUMOR MARKERS IN HER BLOOD, which doesn't make any sense to me. (I don't have access to her medical records & she was never told the truth by her oncologist)
I've researched doctors and clinics...and came up with what I believe are the very best (Issels/Oasis of Hope, Dr Forsythe in Reno and Dr Hanoch Talmor in Florida) I offered these suggestions to my sister but she afraid to go anywhere.
My sister's huband won't "allow" her to go out of the country...or to any alternative clinic that I suggest. He tells her to listen to her doctor (the one who told her she was going to die) She 's told me she doesn't want more chemo and believes in the alternative approach but unfortunately she is forced to stay at home. She treats herself...by herself, with Essaic tea and eating organic, which is the best she can do.
Oct 13th she suffered a stroke and spent a week in the hospital. She is still shakey and her vision is impaired...but other than that she seems to be recovering very fast from this stroke. They
had sent her home as a HOSPICE patient! My sister was never told she was on
hospice...I had to find out and tell her. She "dismissed" the visiting
nurse saying, "Don't come back...I don't need you."
She is becoming more tired each day. Her husband won't allow me to come help her. If I try to get near her he takes it out on her. He is an abusive controlling alcoholic but she's been with him for so many years she's blind to this. She lives her life "trying not to upset him." So I have no choice but to stay away to protect her from additional stress. My sister and I talk secretly on our cell phones and meet outside her home. We are very close...but her husband resents this and is jealous.
She is a very strong woman with a strong will to survive. She "tries" to avoid stress but he gets drunk and abusive daily. Still recovering from her stroke, she's resumed running the home based business, does all the cooking and cleaning and has not time to read much or rest much.
Yesterday she told me she was going to heal herself. She has a wonderful positive attitude but I'm still very concerned. I'm feeling anxious because I feel she needs help & more aggressive treatments to get her cancer under control. But again...I have to keep my mouth shut.
My life is on the back burner because I have to be on call for her if she needs me. I pray constantly for her that she can be healed. I had to turn this over to God because that's all I can do. My sister is a prisoner of a very ignorant and controlling alcoholic and there's nothing I can do to make her stand up for herself.
I've read that Essaic tea alone is not aggressive enough but I'm hoping to hear from one of you who has had success with it for stage IV.
