Vickie:
You SHOULD NEVER GIVE UP! There is always hope. Get everyone you know to pray for her. Personally I would not go through another chemo - it is a toxic poison and it is not "correcting" the cause of the cancer. She can probably still beat this if her body is not too beaten down from the chemo, etc. Go to a bookstore and buy "Cancer Battle Plan" by Anne Frahm immediately. Read it then read it to her. Anne Frahm had cancer in every part of her body - she was about dead but she made it because drs. gave up on her and sent her home from the hospital to die. She beat it with nutrition, supplements, detoxification and prayer. As she says in her book, if she could beat it, anyone can! If you have not checked out Coral Calcium, get on the internet and read about it. Go to www.ncrf.org and read of all the people who have been cured using it. Get a nutritionist - quick! Personally, I'd forget the oncologist and go with the nutritionist. As your mom gets stronger, keep changing her diet so there is no sugar, lots of fiber and vegetables and beans for protein. Our oncologist told me that my husband didn't have a chance of beating his esophageal cancer and he is doing GREAT! We are doing major antioxidants (carrot juice, vitamin E (d-alpha which is natural), vitamin C (in powdered form - easier to digest) selenium, grapeseed and co-Q-10. Miracles DO happen - there are millions of people who have beat cancer when doctors have given them no hope! Don't let her give up - if she decides she's going to die, she will. Build her up - emotionally and physically. Tell her she will beat this and you will help her. Good luck and God bless! Judy T.
