Adrenal Cancer has come back in my right gland

In October 2005 I was diagnosed with adrenal cortical carcinoma, it was also invading the main vein into my heart.  I had open heart surgery and had my left adrenal gland. Kidney and tumour removed.  All was going well until August 2007 when the cancer returned in both my lungs and liver, it is inoperable.  I was put on mitotane and all seemed to be going well until I had a CT scan two weeks ago, the cancer has now come back in my right adrenal gland and more tumours have appeared on my lung, there is one that has grown to 13mm.

My Oncologist told me last Wednesday that I will have to be admitted into Clatterbridge (Merseyside), for chemo.  He is having talks with my consultant to see if she will/can operate on the adrenal gland and remove the tumour.

Does anyone know of a good diet, or anything I can take to help?  I have been told that Manuka honey 25+ UMF is very good, has anyone else heard this?  I will try anything as you can imagine.  There is not much help with adrenal cancer on the web.

Thanks.

Jeanette
