My Dr. said it spread to my liver now. But it's tiny and probably won't affect

Thank you. I'll have to check those out. I've tried lots of things and no matter what I try, it still keeps coming. The problem seems to be that my body doesn't understand that the rogue cells should be eliminated. Please see the discusion below with Celtic Eagle. Thanks and take care.

I think we can be optimistic because there are many evidences on the internet that natural treatments and alternative treatments can heal cancer. Some faith will increase the chance for a cure. Let's just hope and be sure Writersedge will live for a long time and will suffer no pain and will get cured completely. What do you think ?

I think there is much hope for cures, but do not believe it will come directly from the medical profession. I research and find new things all the time. The power of nature is amazing. Hopefully writersedge will manage to keep a positive attitude and find laughter in life even in the face of such dreadful news.

Thank you. I feel fine right now. It was a wonderful summer and I'm looking forward to a great fall, no matter what happens. I really appreicate the prayers and the well wishes. I think that's what has kept me sane so far.

yes somehow knowing there are people who can support you helps us have that feeling that somehow we can go through everyday..no matter what we are facing.

Someone said that natural remedies run about 65%. I was only given a 60% chance with unnatural remedies. Like you said, it's such an individual disease. I wish like when I had pneumonia, I had gotten or I hope to get some kind of a sign.

I hope so too...

Yes, Gem Side a Bean is what it sounds like ( sounds like introvenus Jim Bean)! I hope it stays small, too.

Yeah ,the alternative might have done some slowing down, too. It's hard to say. I am having some luck with Pau D'arco. I'm trying to do an organic diet, but the price of organic is prohibative, so I'm trying to do selective. Like stuff that's really bad unless it's organic. That is the problem, so much is so individual. Yes, I prefer that I tell you when I'm ready. Thanks for respecting that. It means a lot to me.

Pau D'arco is an immunity builder. I was not having any luck getting rid of ring worm (which isn't a worm, it's a fungus). The medicine for that wasn't helping. So I started taking Pau D'aro and it seems to be helping me grain some ground. I'm eating greeens. Trust me. The CSA (consumer supported agriculture) has greens every week.

I appreciate the problem of cost for organic produce. It's prohibitive for most people I think, and availability can also be an issue depending on where you are. I'm very thankful that I've the space, time and knowledge to supplement my own storecupboard from the garden. My understanding, from the very small amount of research that I've done myself, is that if you can only afford to eat one thing raw, to make it green. I've no idea what Pau D'arco is, so I'll head off and do some research.

I've received 31 possible cancer stoppers like asparagus and the problem is, which will actually work for me and my cancer? There are so many types? Tea is a double-edged sword. It can cause stomach cancer in some people. Especially if they don't drink it with milk. I actually hate the taste of tea. The fact that I did Essiac tells you I was despirate.

That is a lot of treatments of any kind to go through! I've not heard that tea can cause this in people, but I suppose with anything there is a double edged sword. There are different ways to receive the chemo, have you tried each way? I've heard that for some it was taken better (without much sickness) differently for different people.

I have a port and that is supposed to be the best way to receive it.

Right now, hun, I'd trade you for that blind roommate! She's being NO help at all!

I'm trying to but my friends in real life aren't helping. Eat well. They bring me on a picnic and refuse to let me bring food. What's the food at the picnic? White bread, ham. Thank good ness there was swiss cheese so I could have something low salt. Another person brought berreies. They wanted me to sit and doing nothing. Then I went canoeing. People were yelling at me to not paddle. I told them, now wait just a cotton picken second. I was told to do what I feel up to doing. Then rest. So we paddle to an island and I go to sleep . Then we paddle back. My Mylot friends aren't expecting me to be in a Nursing HOme. That picnic. Sit all day. Then the canoe trip, hey there was no way I was sitting all day. I ended up having a great day for the canoe trip. I had a terrible day for the picnic. I refused to eat the ham on the picnic. The salt expands my arteries and veins, I have to drink a gallon of water and urinate all the time to keep from feeling like my mouth is parched in the desert. She says it's lower in salt. That doesn't help much. Why wouldn't they let me bring my own food? Because I've been fighting cancer for 14 months, so I must be an invalid. My friends and family are getting on my nerves. I'm going to have to get out of here. They're trying to help is killing me.

I'd trade you, too. At least she'd let me cook something and not think I was an invalid.

The 4 mushrooms are great for white blood cells. My white blood cell count is wonderful. Thank you. The problem is that my white blood cells don't seem to recognize the invaders as anything but more cells like I already have. So yes, we've had multiple discussions about mushrooms and I've recommended them for everyone who has cancer who asks me. Their white blood cell counts tend to go up, except those with bone marrow problems because they don't seem to have any way to make white blood cells. The probiotic that I had, Protease Plus is supposed to strip the protein off the outside of the molecule of cancer so that my body can recognize it as cancer and kill it. It's not a light weight. COQ10 and Hawthorn I tried before for high blood pressure. It made my pressure worse. My blood pressure with all of this is already high enough to kill me. Pau D'arco, while not doing much with my cancer, is helping me have immunity against things. My husband was sick and so far (knock on wood) I'm not getting what he had. About once a day it tries to take hold, but I wack it with Pau D'arco and it goes away.

COQ10 is for the cells, helps them be healthy. THey don't have anything to do with blood pressure and never effected mine when I took it. I heard of people having cancers of all types, taking the COQ10 and being in remission now. Another good immunity helper is Lysine. One of the ameno acids. Protease Plus sounds like good stuff. Don't forget about these super nutrients: Flaxseed oil (prostrate) Acai berrie(ah-si-ee) anti-oxidant higher than others Grape seed extract(Resveratrol) Curcumin Noni (bioinnovations.com)a juice high in anti-oxidants.

I've heard ot people taking 31 different things and being free of cancer now. If all this stuff worked, why is anyone doing chemo? Because like me, when they try this other stuff, it works for something but not for the cancer. Read Greenmoo about Pau D'arco and like I said about the mushrooms and white blood cells. You probably don't have high blood pressure and even if you did, it's probably not like mine. I'm not risking it. I often have a reverse reaction to things. Like sleeping pills keep me wide awake all night and hyper. So I have to go with what my body tells me. I'm putting groud flax seed in every meal with stuff that I eat. So far it's helping my eyes feel better and flax seed is for eyes according to my eye Dr. who is very into flax everything for eyes. Dr. OZ show had curcumin. I was taking tumeric that has it in, but then I heard the huge doses I'm surrposed to take on that show and I'll have to buy supplements because the amount is huge like an entire bottle worth of tumeric in one pill. I've heard that Lysine is good for the heart, too. Yes, Protease Plus is good stuff in theory. If it worked I'd be without cancer now. Grape seed, I should have never gotten cancer. My Mother used to yell at me all the time for eating them. I still do. I can only buy a couple things at a time. I have medical bills and our taxes are coming up. School tax here is September and Land Tax is January. Thanks and take care.

Yes, I've tried tumeric and garlick. Do you know how much curcumin they said you need? I was watching Dr. Oz and the only way you could get that much is in a pill. Everything I've read says that cooked garlic negates it. I've also read that some people with ulcers have problems with it. I hope all the same things as you do. Thank you. Especially for the words of encouragment.

That's weird because I know lots of people that onions, garlic, and tea sets their stomack into over producing acid. Not all ulcers are H. pylori. Good research on the mg/day on the curcumin. After I finish with my bills, I 'll see if I can afford a small bottle to start. School tax right now. Thanks and you're wonderful to research for me. Take care.

From what I am seeing, it looks like the dose would be around 3,000-3,600 mg/day. That would definitely have to come in large part in capsule form. Studies have shown that people can tolerate up to 8,000 mg/day without any ill effect. Garlic is one of the foods that is actually said to inhibit the growth of H. pylori, so it is actually good for ulcers. University of Maryland Medical School (http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/peptic-ulcer-000125.htm) says, "Foods containing flavonoids, like apples, celery, cranberries (including cranberry juice), onions, garlic, and tea may inhibit the growth of H. pylori."

I have bladder cancer that spread to my lung, my heart sack, and now my liver. It's not lung cancer. They took my bladder out, but it was already in my lymphodes. I don't think you can scare me any more than the Drs. Well I can't afford slow moving medicine. The cancer if fast moving. In 6 weeks without treatment, it's all through most people. I have gone 8 weeks and about to go three more before I start up again. So it may be slowing it down, but it certainly isn't curing it. I will keep trying natural remedies, but opertions - 3, chemos, multiple kinds and multiple times, natural remedies, all kinds, and nothing is stopping it. Thanks and take care.

Well I've already got 31 suggestions to try plus a half dozen more above. We get no help diet wise from Drs here and conflicting info on the internet. Glad you're in remission. That's wonderful! I had 4 chemos 4xs and did OK with it. It didn't kill the cancer, it just shrunk it. I had one chemo and that made me tired. then the two that made me ill. I'd been fighting for 14 months with operations and chemos. It just keeps on coming. Glad yours worked. Take care.

I think unnatural things are what's making us have more cancer now. Some blood pressure meds create cancer, they're finding. Many meds they're finding the side effects are worse than what they're curing. Sorry to hear your current chemo is bothering you. Someone said spirolina helps with side-effects of chem. I'm allergic to spirolina, so you can't prove it by me!

I stayed away from all that for one month and the cancer tripled. Chocolate, depends on who you listen to. Some say it stops cancer or prevents it and some say it doesn't. Besides, there's sugar in blueberries and everything. I was told not to even eat fruit or wheat at all. I had to take vitamin c and potassium to keep from dying on my no sugar diet that I was given. All it did was constipate the daylights out of me. I'm back to dairy, that's organic. Lactose in dairy is sugar. But if your read about your body, it breaks everything down to the smallest molecules so it can get into the cells and that's sugar. Even if you eat meat, it's broken down to sugar. I don't tend to loose much wait, knock on wood, so far. Take care.

The cancer is living on my iron cells. I can't quit eating stuff with iron. I've seen it. The blood is dark going into the cancer cellls and lighter coming out .I'm anemic a lot. The chemo makes me anemic a lot, too. I hope your Dad doesn't have it again. If he does, I hope he's able to get over it. Peace and love, thanks for trying to help.

I've been fighting for 14 months and I've been trying to be consistant in willpower. It's not that easy, but I'm trying. Thanks and take care.

Wonderful prayers. Wonderful words of hope and courage. Thanks and take care.
