I have an aunt with terminal cancer who needs cheering up - only wants to sleep during the day. Suggestions?

Question

She has pancreatic cancer...has been through treatment, doing light treatment now b/c of severe side effects from first intensive treatment. Was given six to eight months to live last May.

Answer 1

What type of cancer does she have and was she diagnosed as terminal? It is hard to tell from your question just what exactly is going on. How old is she? What is her overall health at the moment? What type of treatment has she had? Has she sought out a second or third opinion as sometimes new options can be explored.

If she is indeed 'terminal' than certainly you can understand why she is sad . . there really isn't anything that you can do except make her as comfortable as possible and make sure she encounters no stress. You should also seek out information about depression and cancer. There are drugs she can take to help her with the depression.

Answer 2

To answer your question, I suggest an alternative medicine approach.

In 1990, I had Hodgkin's Lymphoma, stage 3-B, but I've survived. During the year in treatment, I started learning about alternative medicine.

Here's what I've figured out--FIRST, somebody--probably from the AMA--is getting my answers deleted as 'not a question or an answer', because they don't want you to know about it. So if you want to keep this information, you need to copy it to a wordpad document quickly, before it disappears. Hopefully, they'll give up and stop that nonsense soon. Now, here goes--

Cancer is caused by poor nutrition (including oxygen) and stressors. Stressors can be environmental, like heavy metals, food additives or pollution, or emotional or job stress.
Our bodies have 60 trillion--yes, trillion--cells, and there are always some mutating into cancer cells, but a healthy immune system kills them before they have a chance to get a foothold in the body.
It takes a LONG time, usually, or an exrtaordinary amount of stressors, to degrade the immune system to the point where it won't do its job, but once cancer has formed, it can spread rapidly.


THIS IS IMPORTANT! There are ways to BEAT cancer that the AMA is keeping from the American public, that are being used in Europe and around the world. Here is some information that is getting hard to find--

"The Cure for All Cancers", ISBN 0963632825;
"A Cancer Therapy", ISBN 0882681052;
"Hydrogen Peroxide--Medical Miracle", ISBN 1885236077;
"The Natural Cure for Cancer--Germanium", ISBN 0533071410;
"Killing Cancer", ISBN 0705000966.


Type 'used books' into your browser and find a good site, then type in the ISBN numbers and get some great help cheap.

I know of people whose cancer has 'spontaneously remitted' (WENT AWAY for no known reason) after they went on a program of herbs and nutrition.

The American Medical Association (AMA) and the pharmaceutical companies control medical law in this country, and they are in it for the money, and don't care about individuals. You and your family must look out for yourselves to stand a chance of being healthy.

This is not a joke, and I'm not selling anything. Look into it. Best of luck
