I am a 53 yaear old mom who has hust been diagnosed out of the blue with liver-colon cancer. Of course I am devastated and my emotions range from trying to survive to giving up. I have been a diabetic all my life (45 yrs.) so I spent most of my time taking care and focusing on this. I have strong faith in God and believe that God is with us and will take that what is meant for bad and use it for good. During my research this week, The Lord has blessed me with some information on a procedure that is giving some hope to liver-colon patients. My cancer is stage 4, I have 3 separte tumors in my liver. Please visit the website "Sirtex" and review this. I have spoken to the centers that provide this procedure and are having better than average results. It seems that chemo is not enough overall to stop the cancer, but this process directs chemo to the liver tumors and and redue the size. It seems that with the chemo and this and other natural products, maybe we can reach the next phase and add some time to our life
Saman,
They found a 5cm by 5.2 cm tumor in my liver and I have experienced pain mainly on my left side under my ribcage. Constant pain now. Yet, I have had irritable bowl for years. I know they will look at my stomach and colon next. My Doc believes I have focal nodular hyperplasia and I am only 45 years old. I will have a liver biopsy this Wed. I am also a mother of grown children. I am scared, but I have a strong faith in God. My husband passed just 5 months ago from kidney cancer and I have been a caregiver for 5 years. What were your symptoms of your cancer? Pain on the right side or left side? I pray that God will heal you and grant you peace. I have read about the procedure you are talking about and I think it would be a good treatment. Why not attack the tumors directly and try to kill them that way? Also, my husband's cancer spread to the brain and he had gamma knife radiation and it worked to kill that one tumor. How are you doing now? I have read Joel Osteen's books and they offer great courage to fight cancer since his mother was cured of cancer. I will pray for you daily.
