Squamous cell cancer in cartilage in nasal cavity

My sister has just been diagnosed with nasal cancer and the doctors say there is not much they can do but operate and take a good portion of her nose and then radiation treatmets. She is only 51 and I don't think she can survive the side effects of radiation. The sores in the mouth and the teeth removed and getting a feeding tube. I need any advice. We are desperate!!!!! I can't lose her.

Suzanne - sorry to hear about your sister. Don't know how open either of you are to complementary therapies but I have a friend with a squamous cell cancer in his mouth that just returned from the Cell Specific Cancer Treatment Clinic. They have recently completed a clinical study and had great success with several different types of cancers most of which were in stage three and four. You can visit their web site at www.csct.com. Should you elect to call them - please feel free to use my name as referring you as I have a good relationship with them. And should you wish to talk about the info - please feel free to contact me directly at bmoser@bww.com WIll be praying for each of you and God's Discernment as you search for drections! God Bless ...
