Fighting Ovarian Cancer (Scotland)

I was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer 15 months ago,told I was stage 3C and it was unlikely I'd survive more than four months.I have had chemotherapy spread over eight months. First Carboplatin with Taxol then Carboplatin on its own. It didn't work. I then went on a course of the drug Letrozole which also has been unsuccessful.I am now stage 4 and my CA125 is 2200. My oncologist now has told me just to go home and enjoy life!
I have decided to try the Breuss Cancer Cure but have encountered no end of problems in obtaining some of the ingredients required to make the supplementary teas.Has anyone else tried this cure as detailed in the book by Rudolph Breuss, what was the outcome and where did they obtain the ingredients?
On an encouraging note, while getting chemotherapy I insisted on wearing the 'Ice Cap' and as a result suffered no hair loss.

Eileen, I am also dealing with ovarian cancer, actually, fallopian tube cancer. I wish I had some answers for you, unfortunately, I don't. Have you thought about seeing a naturopath doctor? What is an "ice cap".

Philly, the ice cap resembles a jockey's cap and is put in a freezer.About ten minutes before getting chemo the nurse would place it on my head. It has to fit really tightly and she'd put some cotton wool just under it where it touched my forehead to prevent 'freezer burn'. While getting the chemo it is replaced every 40 minutes as it deforsts.It is naturally cold, but not at all uncomfortable to wear, in fact I used to doze off and only woke each time the cap was being changed.I don't know where you are, but here in Scotland not every hospital will provide the cap. I was lucky that the Western General in Edinburgh did.I would encourage anyone to enquire about it as it certainly helped me.Best of luck with your treatment.

Eileen, I am in the United States. Never heard of an "ice cap".

You mentioned Breuss Cancer Cure and I came across the information below. I don't know what you are looking for, but someone couldn't find all the ingredients for a tea and mentions a web site--thought you might be interesed. Good luck.

"I fould the (ingredients) difficult to find, however I did find a source in Australia for a product called Breuss Kidney Tea."

Mayo clinic has a clinical trial using the measles vaccine, which has no side effects & works very well. It is injected into the peritoneal cavity & the measles virus destroys the all of the cancer cells that it can reach, before the antibodies get to the virus.
virotherapy has been around for awhile, but the FDA has never let it out of clinical trials, because the profit margin is too low. Hungary has been using the newcastles vaccine for years, which is a chicken vaccine, & it has worked well. They use it in a nasal spray.
Check it out.

Hi I was diagnosised with stage 4 ovarian ca Sept 2003, underwent chemo treatment 6 cycles , since Ihave been on a vitimin / mineral supplements suggest looking into Graviola, Mangosteen Juice, flaxseed oil with cottage cheese, and changing your PH balance to Alkline check with health food stores , My tumor markers have been 6 , God gave us an immune system we need to do what we can to get it operational again, my prayers are with you, Blessings Claudia

Claudia, I am impressed that you are doing so well. Really happy for you. I was Stage 3-C and have had 2 relapses. What is Gaviola and Mangosteen Juice and what are they suppose to do for you? What vitamins and minerals are you taking? I thought flaxseed oil should be avoided because of the estrogen-like effect.

Philly: Graviola is herb can get information from Regallabs, takenwith Rasberry Extract. , magosteen is a juice patented under the name XANGO, you can learn more by going to mangosteenexperiences.com. In addition to these I have been taking a number of other vitimins, selenium, c e a & d, b 6 b compelex, flaxseed oil with cottage cheese( protein). Obviously quit smoking,, eat no meat except chicken ( organic) fish salmon at least twice a week) veggies ( crusafix veggies) fruit. NO sugar( cancer feeds on it), green tea no sodas, I have read a ton of books several I would recommend for reading: Cancer Battle Plan, How to fight cancer and Win, Beating Cancer with nutrtion, all have a similar theme and there are several others which I think are immensley helpful in building or rebuilding the immune system. Which I Believe is a God given gift and somehow it has been compromised It is up to us to restore it as best we can by providing it the tools to do the job it was intended to do to fight the cancer cells. Obviiously prayer is a powerful help always available to us. I of course do not know what is right for you, but I have tried to stay stress free, as much as possible , which necessitated in my giving up my real estate practdice of 30 years, The hours ( 90 a week) and stress were not supportive of my surviving, So I would commend to you to review all that you are doing and see what postive changes you can make or things you can do to help yourlself. Be blessed, and healed, claudia

Hi Claudia, My name is Jan and I am an ovarian cancer survivor stage 4 for over nine years now. No recurrence to date. You seem to have the right attitude my friend about it all. Who know about this stuff? Right? You ladies here must keep the faith and hang in there. I wish you all healthy tomorrows. Hugs and be well, Jan

Hi Jan! I just wanted you to know that reading your message gives me hope. My mother is stage 3 and struggling. She gets easily depressed and the family is afraid she's 'thrown in the towel'. She is having a great deal of abdominal discomfort, bloating and gas and this interferes with eating. Her stomach rumbles all the time. Did you have any problems with this? Is this a side effect of the chemo? She's only had one treatment so far. Anyway, I'm a strong believer in nutrition playing a part of the healing process--any recommendations? Thanks, Jan!
