G-mother has cancer... do you think this may help??

Question

about 1 mon ago she found out she has cancer which has spreaded to SEVERAL areas. she's in the hos now and expected to come home today. the docs said there's nothing else they can do. omg, i can't believe i'm even saying that ;>( i can't even express how i feel about this even on how the docs treated her. he was sooo blunt to her as tho she don't have feelings. "you can do whatever you want, nothing is gonna help you" was his statement. right now her breathing is the biggest prob cuz there's a mask that covers i think the whole side of 1 of her lungs. i know what cancer means exspecially when it's the fast type, but there is also a place in my head that still holds hope. i know that GOD can zap all of that cancer out of her in a blink, so i hold tight to that hope.
anyways, i came across this site. i know lots of stuff isn't true on the net, but...
should i give this a try, what do we have to loose?
what do you guys think?

Answer 1

You should ask your grandmother how she feels about this. I have experienced a similar situation, my grandmother was diagnosed with AML (Acute Myeoloid Leukemia) which is quite difficult to treat. The doctors came back and said basically that same thing your grandmother was told. However she has resolved herself to her fate, and we have simply tried to make the best of the time that we have left together. If there is nothing that can be done, then the sad truth is that there is nothing more they can do for her.

So once more I suggest that you talk to your grandmother about how she feels about this. If she wants to continue to explore any options, support her in that. If she wants to make the most of the time she has left, then I suggest you do just that. I wish I could offer more advice during such a painful time in your life, but you should bear in mind that whatever you're going through she is also experiencing and then some.

Answer 2

I'm so sorry to hear about your grandmother. I'm also sorry you were upset by the doctor's bluntness, but I know that I have always appreciated honesty from doctors when discussing my cancer, and if it becomes terminal I really want blunt honesty then too.

Please don't bother with the website; all the 'cancer fighting strategies' it gives are unproven and ineffective quackery. It's a sad fact that wherever there's cancer there's someone waiting to make money out of other people's desperation by selling them a miracle cure.

There are also of course well-meaning and concerned individuals who will recommend such 'cures' because they care.

Please be wary about anecdotes from people who claim to have been cured by any of the methods the site proposes. You have no proof that they had cancer in the first place, much less that they are 'cured'.

If you are thinking of using any of the methods the site suggests, please to a search on these two sites first to get the scientific truth:

At this stage, making sure your grandmother is as comfortable and pain free as possible is the priority.

Answer 3

There is something that may save her life, but it doesn't cost $100,000. It's resveratrol. It has been studied all over the world. M. D. Anderson Cancer Center and Dr. aggarwal have a great study. Please yahoo or google "resveratrol preclinical and clinical studies" and aggarwal resveratrol". The stuff works on just about every cancer. You can buy it at most vitamin stores, but vitacost.com has many, oldsouthwinery.com has it made from the muscadine grape and then vitaminshoppe.com.

The stuff tells the killer cells to recognize the cancer and then it can also tell the cancer cells to just pass off. Look up about it on the web site and contact the people at oldsouthwinery, they have testimonials. Also they have links to MD Anderson on their site. You can find much about it on the net, rally a ton of stuff in the past year. the Chinese and Japanese us the root of the knot weed plant.

I have a friend and his cousin is connect to the winery and he was given three months to live and had 3 of 11 chemos and stopped and started taking resveratrol and that was over two years ago and he is OK. The stuff is also like a cox 1- inhibitor for pain and I have ruptured disc and it works. This may save her live, my friend takes 10 caps a day. Take care.

Answer 4

laughter is the best medicine, but every medicine has its weak points so if there is no hope just try to make the most of the time left. this doesn't just go for people who are sick and have no other hope but also young healthy people.
my friend got leuchemia a couple of years ago and it has been hard to deal with it. i know that God can cure it instantly, but why would he do it for one person instead of everyone. when i went to find a card for him i saw an awesome one.

outside: Every germ has an angel that watches over it and says...
inside-"Die little germ! Die!" get well soon!

he loves to smile and make people laugh so i knew he would love it if someone could give him a good laugh when he needed one.

Answer 5

More than 8 years ago my father who was then 79 was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer and had to removed a kidney with a tumor as big as a tennis ball and we were told that it has scattered to his lungs and brain and needs chemo, which we did not agree..After the operation, we took him home and not given any drugs. I started on combination of alternative treatment, from vegetable juice(Biota),flaxseed oil,Essiac Tea and vitamins, especially Vit. C.He survived other illnesses like prostate enlargement, mild heart attack, and all were treated with alternative medicine PLUS "PRAYER TO THE GOD ALMIGHTY". At 86 he still strong and walk miles.Hope this may encourage you not to give up.

Answer 6

I am so sorry. We are all alive based on hope so please do not lose hope and cherish the time you have with her. The doctors always tell it the way it is because they want the patient to be able to get their affairs together but as the person above me mentioned ask her and see what she wants to do. Good luck to you and your family.
