Answer 1

I am a stage 4 lymphoma survivor. I did chemo and they wanted to do a bone marrow transplant, but I chose not because I was afraid the transplant would kill me. That was in 1990.

Anyhow, I used the Nursing Guide to Prescription Drugs. I looked up each chemo drug and it explained in very readable language, what the drug would leach from me. It also recommended a vitamin or mineral or food to counteract the effects. So on those days I would beef up my body with a particular vitamin matched to the chemo drug.

One of the drugs (oncovin) began to turn my hands and feet numb, so I tried acupuncture to reverse the numbness. It worked.

Since chemo, I searched for a homeopathic physician (that is a doctor with Board Certified as a internal medicine doctor who also practices homeopathy.)

I also made sure I exercised each and every day.

I've been cancer free since 1990, so it's either luck or it worked.

It's very difficult when faced with cancer to not want to try everything out there whether it's bathing in the waters of Lourdes or going to a Mexican clinic.

Answer 2

Get a hold of a really good oncologist ASAP. Ask them about Gleevec.

Meanwhile, keep his environment extremely clean, and keep him far away from sick people. Make sure everyone washes well just before touching him or being in his room, his immune system will be crushed with the decrease of his white and red blood cell count.

Ultimately, lung cancer patients usually die of pneumonia first. If you try to keep him alive after a bad case of pneumonia, keep in mind this: the alternative is to die of organ failure. This is an ugly way to die. Most people give their parent morphine, take them off machines and let them go, but it's not like the movies. They don't go off the machine and go peacefully. They go gasping, and what appears to be panicked though they can't really feel anything when on morphine. Meanwhile, they are deficating on themselves and going in the most humiliated way imaginable.

Do everything from feeding him greens, soy, and organic foods, the right drugs and alternative choices. Do everything. But when all else fails, let him go with dignity. Prepare for the worst by talking to him about his life. Get his family history, get him to tell you stories of his life. Get it down in your computer or family tree software.

When he's finally gone, you will be left to either have guilt for not doing enough, or feeling okay because you did the best you can.

Good luck to you, my heart goes out to you. I've been exactly where you are with my mother.

I have no advise medically but, encouragement and the will to survive are some of the best things for an individual. Give you father lots of love and understanding. Fighting cancer is one of the hardest thing for both the patient and the family.

Answer 4

I am very sorry to hear about your Dad.
So sorry I do not know the answer you need.
I will pray for your father and your family.
May God be with you.
Through prayer your Dad may be cured.
Have you read the book of Job.This may just be a trail in your Dad's life, that through faith and prayer he may overcome.
May the holy spirit our comforter,
The Lord Jesus Christ our Savior,
And God our Father,
Bring down their power from heaven to heal your Dad. If this be God's will.
Amen.

Answer 5

Really very sorry to read your personal sentiments but if it gets malignant, there's nothing much you can do in the field of science but extra warmth and loving,care & affection for your dad.It's at such moments that he's needing all the love&support he can get from his family circle.
Pray for some miracles and hope his last days are bearable.
May God be with you.

Answer 6

I'm sorry to hear about your father. My father had lung cancer but unfortunately we found out too late to treat it. Smoking pot helped his nausea and appitite and make him feel more at ease. Its not exactly a treatment (or legal in most areas) but it made him more comfortable. Good luck.

Answer 7

I'm sorry to hear your father is sick. We can always hope for the best outcome, while preparing for the worst. Cancer touches too many of us, my 77 year old Uncle has lung cancer as well. He has a good attitude, and uses his faith to go on.

Everything that lives dies. It is as much a part of life as birth. Best of wishes.
