I am sorry it took a while to get back to you. I have been getting the DMSO IV treatment since September of 2008. I believe that it helps with me with the pain. It is an alternative treatment and I get it three times a week. I am hoping that it will help shrink the tumors. I was told also that it helps to keep the blood from feeding the tumors. Also I am on Ozone Blood therapy (alternative too) I do this 2 x a week. They take out a pint of blood and then they put ozygen in to the blood and then it comes right back in, so the blood really never leaves you. I have been doing this for about a month, I am supposed to feel like I can breathe better, I am not totally convinced on this treatment yet, we will see. I will do my scans again July 30th, so if things look better than I will know that it is working.
Hope this info helps
take care
Jeana
