my sister in-law has secondary cancer has had her brest removed and in still under going chemo it is also in the lung and she has now been told after a bone scan she has a hot spot in the leg please tell me what her chances are she has young kids and im so worried

Answer 1

No one, not even the doctors know when someone is going to die. There is always hope, so that is what you should focus on.

It is hard to speculate about someones 'chances' because much will depend upon your sister in laws overall health and response to treatment. Cancer can be treated even if it has returned a second time . . it is more difficult to treat, but it can be done. Again, it depends upon her overall health and how she has responded to treatment.

My son was diagnosed with a rare stage IV abdominal sarcoma and was treated successfully with high dose chemotherapy, 2 surgeries, and an experimental hyperthermic chemoperfusion. He had multiple tumors in the abdomen, chest wall, spleen, lympth nodes, large and small intestine, diaphragm and lungs. He had significant response from chemotherapy which allowed the removal with surgery of all visible tumors . . the chemoperfusion was used to kill off microscopic disease implanted into the diaphragm. That was two years ago. He has had a small amount of cancer return to the liver, which we are dealing with. Other than that he is doing fine and goes about the business of living with cancer. We are looking at surgery in the next few weeks and stem cell rescue.

Good luck to your sister in law. And, stay strong no matter what happens.

Answer 2

I'm so sorry to read your sad news. I have known two people with breast cancer: one died and one survived. The one that died, however, lived much longer than any of us had expected. The cancer had spread to her liver and bones, but she still managed to live another six years after the doctors found this out. At the time she was already too far gone for surgery. She did have several chemo courses, which in the end didn't work any more, but did 'buy' her those six years. We all had time to say goodbye to her and work out any issues we might have had. When she eventually took off into the unknown, we were all at peace with it. Cancer is a nasty disease, but at least it gives you some time to work things out.

You can try taking Cesium Chloride with Rubidium. I believe there is also one with DMSO. Its on some natural website made in 2000. I cant put websites here, so you can email me on that. Those are pretty much the two best natural remedies that you can combine to get rid of cancer. Its not a chemo therapy type of drug. Its about $75 dollars a bottle. A bottle lasts you a month. If you have heavy cancer, it will last you about 3 weeks. After taking the natural remedy, you need to eat some bananas or potatoes to replenish yourself with the potassium that you have lost. And, you can also take some Oxygen Drops with this. Cancer cannot survive if there is too much oxygen. What these oxygen drops do is help your body get more oxygen, thus killing any cancer that comes in contact with the extra oxygen. Do eat alot of greens, but I want to warn you of eating foods high in iron. These include but are not limited to broccoli, beef, red beets, etc etc. This is the natural building blocks of cancer. Without iron, it cannot grow. So, cut all iron out of your diet. Um, you should be eating more bran. So, look for bran cereals and brown rice. Thse bind with iron within the body, thus taking out everything that cancer needs. Good luck.

Miracles happen everyday alls you can do now is give her all the support youcan and pray with all your might. Ive lost and Aunt and an Uncle to two different kinds of cancer in the past year My mom had breast cancer and my other aunt had breast cancer she had to have a double massectomy. My other Uncle is battling colon cancer. I dont know what it is . These are country people that have always lived their lives healthy and didnt smoke and always took care of theirselves . This is an epidemic that is taking our loved ones with no warnings anymore and new strains that they havent even come across yet . I will pray for your sister-in-law.

Answer 5

Due to the fact that the cancer has spread to other areas is not a good sign. However, there are several factors involved in recovery; early treatment, her overall health, the aggressiveness of the cancer, her will and disposition to fight the disease and the course of treatment all play a huge factor. All you can do is be positive, support her and pray for her, it will be a long and difficult struggle. I pray for all of you.

Answer 6

Well I'm no expert but as you are already aware, her prospects dont look too rosey do they. I am agreat believer in alternate medicine ( alonside conventional types) & also in POSITIVE thinking. If those around her become down & despondent then she will become low herself..... the best way to keep her spirits up is for everyone to think positive. Your sister in law probably realises herself that her prognosis is not great & has probably come to accept the fact and will probably be trying to protect those around her more than herself.So my best suggestion is for everyone around her to carry on with everyday things as normally as possible & live everyday to the max........dont put off anything she wants to do...... tomorrow she might not be up to it. I think there cant be many people who have not been touched by this and other terrible diseases either directly or indirectly & we all need to keep trying & stay focussed on a cure. In the meantime please cope as best you can ..........All the best
