Relapsed NHL.

Hi again:

Lots of questions. Has anybody on here have NHL that has relapsed and has been through a clinical trial that worked. I am waiting for a bone marrow transplant but am scared to do it since I have read of so many patients dieing from it after suffering months.

I know if I don't do something else I will die. I have heard of clinical trials working but don't have the slightest idea which ones and was wanting to find out if anybody on here has chosen to go through one and it helped.

Thank you

Paul

Dear Paul,

My husband had a bone marrow transplant last Sept. at the City of Hope in Calif. He is as we are speaking getting  a Pet Scan to see if the cancer is still in his body. He had non hodgkins large B cell lymphoma, had Rchops 4 times and not work, hospitalized and had Rice 3 times so that his cancer was minimal and they extracted his own stem cells and Rice again before they put his stem cells back. He has been doing a vegetarian diet, juicing and no meat or dairy and taking supplements from the book Cancer Free by Bill Henderson trying to build his immune system to keep cancer away. He runs and is building body to do a marathon. Feels good. looks good and positive atttutude with prayer as our covering. I recommend finding other opinions and going to a hospital that is top in transplants and cancer that is tough to get rid of with aggresive treatments. He is doing 3 trials, one was Zevalin, radiation, another is brain scan and another is watching his progression. There are many trials at this hospital that might be appropriate for you or other major hospitals. People come from all over the world to City of Hope. He had an 8 inch tumor in his mesentary midline of abdoman and it shrunk to 6c.so we are very hopeful it is gone. He had to smaller ones next to it, but had disappeared during the treatments. Praying they are still gone. Another cite is Hallelujah Acres for eating and supplements and Paul Nison. I would get as many opinions as posssible and then make a decision. May our Lord guide and direct you with the decisions you have to make. Feel free to contact us anytime. Stay positive as there are many things out there especially the great healer, Jesus.

I am 34 yrs old ,in the same situation as you, had stage 4 NHL last Nov and after treatment , was remission last 9 months and now again back, just wondering how much the alternative and naturally therapies cures cancer, esp NHL aggressive type, I am planning to buy Cancer Free book and follow it, please advise if you are success with any new treatments since lot of them are scam

I was diagnosed with NHL in May 2004 and opted to take an alternative path rather than the R/Chop that was recommended by the oncologist I was referred to.  Diet and supplements are a very important part of an alternative protocol but I give intravenous vitamin C treatments a great deal of the credit for my surviving symptom free for all this time. Here are some links to information re this treatment:

Thanks, interesting to know this, What type of NHL who are dealing with, did it cured completely or just stopped the progress, let me know what you did or taking it now, do you have any diet changes?
