Is there anyone out there that has beaten cancer. How? They've given her months to live, she is no longer taking the intervenous chemo because it isn't doing any good. Please even if you ask around in the few weeks be sure to come back and let me know of anything that might help.

i'm very sorry for your sister and your family.
normally i dont answer questions like this, but this is weird, because last night i had a dream about one of my friends getting cancer, and how much hurt it caused, and what it'd take to beat it. i swear to god i'm not making this up, and normally i dont ever remember my dreams.
the most recent thing i read about cancer was an interview with Eddie Van Halen from a year or so ago. he said he tried a lot of stuff and it didnt seem to help him, until he started meditating daily and actually "talking to" his cancer. he said that he told it that it was going to harm him and he couldnt allow that, and let the cancer know that he was not going to share his body with anything dangerous.
usually i trust science over answers like that, but i do believe that having the strength of will, being courageous, and just plain believing that you're not going to give in has a lot of power in a situation like that.
i hope that, if nothing else, my answer will make your sister feel better about her odds with cancer and make her want to fight it with every stitch of her being. there are too many things that happen mysteriously in this universe of ours to rule out the ability she has within her to just open up and say "i'm not letting you win" to her sickness. i know that at the least, if i was told i wasnt going to make it, i'd wanna go down fighting.
good luck, and best wishes.

I'm sorry for what you must be going through, but i will be honest. I have never heard of anyone surviving blood cancer, it just spreads to quickly because it's in the blood. I'm glad that she stopped taking the chemo, if it's not helping then it's shortening her life. Encourage her to stay positive, death may sound scary but we all go through it at some point, it can't be that bad. She should eat as healthy as possible and try to do a little exercise as much as she can. Walking for just an hour or so a day is good. Lots of acidic foods too. The same stuff that they tell you will keep you from getting cancer it is the same stuff that will help her live longer. She should eat lots of tomatoes, blueberries, strawberries, and citrus. Tell her to avoid eating too much protein, a person only needs 50g a day, more then 100g is not good. Don't treat her like she's going to die and enjoy every minute you have with her because you never know what could happen, you could step off the curb tomorrow and get hit by a car. It's all about attitude, and I hope with all my heart that your sister will beat it because somebody has to be the first.

I know what you are going through because my mother passed away a few months ago of cancer. Sweetie if the doctors have said that she has only months to live accept it, don't go in denial. My mother had colon cancer and it spread to the liver, she stopped having intravenous chemo in January 2006 and passed away in may 2006. Sorry for having to say this but its reality. The best thing you can do at the moment is be there for her, she needs her family there and whatever she fancies give it to her. Your sister will be in my prayers and I pray everyday for a cure for all types of cancers. God Bless you and your family.

I don't know anything about treatments and so on. I do know that the attitude of the patient has a lot to do with recovery. I have faith in prayer and the Lord and will pray for her recovery! Your sister is fortunate to have such a wonderful sister and support system like you! You could try getting her to visualize the tumors on her liver being burned up and disappearing.The mind has a powerful influence over the body. I once did this for something that was not life threatening and it worked. It was a wart on my finger. I know it is no way the same, but if it works for one thing it might work for another.I have heard this works for some kinds of tumors. I don't know, but it could not hurt anything. Try doing this every day, it wont hurt and may just help! Tell her to focus on this and see it in her mind. I have heard that some visualization therapy works. You may want to consider giving her organic foods if her liver is compromised to keep toxins out of her system. Try looking into giving her the best nutrition you can and research the special needs of cancer patients. She will need to nourish her body as best she can. Do not accept defeat and put encouraging things around her to read and view every day. Laughter is one of the best medicines, try enjoying funny movies together or talk about funny things that happened in the past. Tell jokes. Keep her in a positive atmosphere!
God bless you and your sister!
Sending up prayers for your family and your dear sister!

if the doctor has already given her months to live, then you should BELIEVE IT & ACCEPT IT. trust me on this one, my mom died from cancer so i know what your going through. Don't waste time being scared & trying to find cures for her. The best gift you can give her right now is your time. You should just be there with her, spend as much time with her as possible. You can't take the disease or the pain away, but you can help her forget about it a little bit by spending lots of time together. I didn't do this with my mom, but it's the one thing in my life i would undo if i could. I regret not spending enough time with her when she was around, instead i was afraid & couldn't accept it or realize it till it was too late. So, this is the advice i'll always give to people with similar situations. I'm sorry about her disease but you must deal with it the best way you can, that you can do by being positive in front of her, give her the last moments of her life in happiness.

I recall a 14 year old boy who had stomach cancer and was given about 2 months to live. He said that every night, he visualized his stomach and the cancer cells and he sent in his "Storm Troopers" to fight them. He did this every night until he fell asleep. He was in complete remission as he told his story at the age of 17. Two of his physicians accompanied him to this interview.
Shortly after hearing his story, my Father suffered a massive heartattack. While in surgery, his surgeon came out to tell us he wasn't doing well and to expect the worst. I went to a private room and visualized the operating team and surgeon and my fathers heart. I pictured his heart pumping strong, his docter alert and confident. I also prayed. That was in 1995...I had lunch with my Dad yesterday. Do I think it worked? Absolutely!

My 16 year old daughter died from cancer.
THE ONLY ADVICE I CAN GIVE IS THIS: Love her and make her as comfortable as possible. If she knows the Lord and comfortable, talk about heaven...
this helped Amy, my daughter as she would smile for hours as I would talk about heaven. I AM SO SORRY AND I WILL PRAY FOR EVERYONE

"I`m so,so, sorry" to hear that" i know you have to be hurting so,so,much"! I will "pray" for her and you and your family"! about the part of letting you know of anything that might help"! ALL THE PLACES AND PEOPLE YOU CAN POSSIBLY GET TO "PRAY" FOR HER, YOU, AND YOUR FAMILY"! note: everyone in your family should be checked by a Doctor, to make sure you don`t also have it, or could get it" hopefully not". read 1 peter 5:7 in your BIBLE.
