Any Advice...Please!!!!

Hello Everyone...
I am new to the board and Iamlooking for any and every bit of information that I can get. My 70 year old mother has just been diagnosed with Metastatic Carcinoma and after a petscan yesterday...there was no primary found. They said there was so many spots in her liver that there were too many to count. She is starting Chemotherapy next week: Taxol and Carboplaint coctail once every 3 weeks for 9 weeks, then they will do another CT scan to view the results. She is a very spiritual person and has a tremendous belief in God. My mother has suffered her whole life with Asthma and Emphysema and was recently diagnosed with Spinal Stenosis with means her spine is deteriorating..but through this she is still positive...beautiful spirit and an all around great person. The blood tests however, makes no sense to me. They said that her blood tests came back strong and really good but they detected markers in her blood that are related to Ovarian Cancer...she has a full hysterectomy over 20 years ago. My parents just lost everything to hurricane Katrina and we felt so helpless. They are staying at my brothers house and she went to another doctor in another town to check op a hernia in her stomach and that is where the doctor noticed that her liver had spots...My mother averages 10 doctors visits a month and has had every test known to man and about 1 surgery a year and I am floored as to why this was never detected. I am trying to be as strong as she is about this, but it is so hard living with the unknown. I live in Alaska and my whole family is down south so I really feel disconnected with everything. I am just needing one story of hope from someone who has beat the odds with the same liver cancer that has lived past the 6 month to a year prognosis...this can give me some hope that she can come through this. Thank you for letting me ramble on...everyone on here seems to have great strength and it is nice to know that there are people who we can lean on during this fight through life! God bless each and everyone of you...

The Shaw Center in Beaver Creek, Co. is a multimillion dollar facility in a beautiful environment and Dr. Hardenburg is a wonderful doctor. The center is privately endowed and meets all Joint Commission of Accreditation requirements. Small and personal.

Access that website and call. Lots of information.

Read your message and thought your mother might benefit from going back to God's original diet of mostly raw fruits and vegetables. I was diagnosed with cancer in September 2005 and had a blood test at that time. My liver count was way up. My niece recommended the Hallelujah Diet and I went on it the first of October. A new blood test in the middle of November showed my liver counts to be normal and my cholesterol was normal for the first time that it had ever been taken (at least twenty years). Very exciting news. Anyway, if it's something she may be interested in, you can check it out at this web site: www.hacres.com On this diet you are allowed one cooked meal in the evening with a large salad. I found it very easy to follow. And also, I have rheumatoid arthritis and the symptoms were gone after three weeks on the diet. That sold me as the arthritis had been very painful. Also, the originator of the diet claims it cured him of colon cancer with no other treatment.

There are a number of viruses that destroy cancer in our bodies. They have a symbiotic relationship with us & have been with us for a long time. Measles & Mumps are just a couple of these & the cancer rate was much lower, when these viruses swept through the population every year. With the invention of the vaccines, which have really helped our children, the cancer rate has increased, because these viral infections are rare now. These are lytic viruses, from which cancer cells have no defense. The viruses keep killing cancer cells, until our antibodies build up & wipe them out.
The Mayo clinic has a clinical trial now, using a modified measles vaccine to destroy ovarian cancer, which is having very good success with this virotherapy. Look up the NCI sites on virotherapy.
I wish the very best for your mother. Carboplatin & taxol do not destroy all of the cancer cells. It only kills the dividing cells, so this proceedure will never get all of them. Virotherapy has much milder side effects.
