Well the news 5 months from diagnosis is in...mom asked and he said the cancer is very agressive and they have to try an 'experimental' drug that is out there (clinical trial I assume). Anyways he said he gives her 1 to 2 years and there will be no cure. she was on carboplatnim and went from (after surgery) the 1000's to 125, now it is going up again.
So is there anything that can be used to help out chemo and give my mom a fighting chance? I've seen stuff on Maitake D-Fraction, I3C, ginger, etc.
Is there hope? Can we use alternative treatments to compliment the drugs/chemo?

Bless your heart... I wish you luck with your quest. :)
YES! You can use alternative treatments to compliment.
Idea 1 - Wheatgrass Juice. There is a component in the juice that basically attacks the carcinogenics of the cancer. Here is a link that talks about it.... http://www.cancertutor.com/Cancer/Wheatgrass.html
There is a book called Nature's Finest Medicine: The Complete Guide to Using Grass Foods and Juices to Revitalize Your Health (by Steve Meyerowitz). There is a testimony section in the book and there are at least 7 different personal stories from people with different kinds of cancers who recovered because of their use of Wheatgrass juice, the stories are inspiring. There was even one in there about someone who bounced back way faster after chemo or radiation because of the wheatgrass...a nurse who did the juice went back for a scan 6 mos. later and there was NO cancer. There are even places that have wheatgrass retreats all across the country and many people with cancer go to those... a search for Ann Wigmore (www.annwigmore.org) is a starting place for information.
Idea 2 - There is a book book out there about healing cancer naturally...I can't recall the title but if you search on Amazon or something you could probably find it.
You can buy if from a Juice Bar (Jamba Juice/Smoothie King) or grow it yourself much cheaper. The book listed above can tell you how.
Do your research... you will find a path to healing...
Fingers crossed and prayers up for you all!!!

Sir,
The American Cancer Society Recommends ayurveda as an important alternative treatment in the field of cancer. it is a herbal based system of cure that is thousands of years old. it is proven to be effective in the treatment of cancer. The treatment of cancer was very well catalogued thousands of years ago, the treatment prescibed is still effective today. However before you take treatment make sure he/she has a good record of treatment in this area.

I'm so sorry. Nothing that I know of. My mother died from breast cancer & I just had a total hysterectomy because I had fibroid tumors in my uterus & a cyst on one ovary. Since I had them for at least a year & have cancer in the family, I opted to get everything removed rather than wait & see what develops. I'll ask a friend of mine who is an organic gardener & knows a lot about these things. She doesn't check her phone call/e-mails every day, so give me a couple of days. e-mail me.

Go ahead and give her hemp oil and whatever else. But here is the most important thing of all: spend as much time with her as humanly possible otherwise you will spend the rest of your life beating yourself up for being out looking for a miracle cure while your mother sat alone in a hospital when you could have been holding the hand of your mom and reassuring her that everything was going to be alright.

I hope this would work,
I also have cancer in the family so I have the great chance to have one... As of now I'm using Honey instead of sugar because honey is rich in antioxidants (it promotes cancer cell suicide a natural death for it I guess) so I guess that will help in any way or another. I suggest you need to consider your mom's diet. So far there are foods out there that serves as food for cancer cells.

No. There is nothing like that. Please check the clinical trails website to see what other experimental treatments they are working on:

Best wishes to her.
