My mother is 53 years old she was diagnosed with cancer of the larynx in oct 2007. She has gone through 10 sessions of radiation and currently is one her way to her 4th set of chemo treatments. She has been on 5 fu pump and carboplatin. She has advanced disease. Her doctor told us she will die from this. We are very scared and are looking for alternatives to help her. In my heart she will not die from this and I strongly beleive this. The other problem is the scarring from radiation and the tumor are blocking her airway and for this reason unless it miraculously clears she will have her trach for life. This is very sad because it is painful and she always has infections. I placed her on so,me herbal remedies such as the cheese/oil cure, acai and now mangosteen. We are tring to pump as many antiox and vit and minerals in her to help her body fight. We need help please. Any suggestions about anything would be helpful . Thanks.
