I had my left kidney, adrenal gland, and lymph node removed a year and two weeks ago due to kidney cancer, I have had numerous ct scans and the last one show that three little white dots on my liver had developed into three large spots and were probably cancer, I am not a wealthy person, in fact we get by mostly on my husbands s.s. And this oncologist gave me a perscription that cost $5.701.72 for 120 tablets, well I just cannot afford that, so I need to know what vitamins and minerals will help me. DO YOU HAVE AN ANSWER? I am begging for your help

No vitamin or herb will treat or cure liver cancer or any other type cancer. If you have metastatic kidney cancer and have very limited income then you should easily qualify for SSI and medicaid and drug coverage through medicaid.

The people who have suggested you try eating shark cartilage obviously do not have cancer and have never tried shrinking tumors with shark cartilage. Shark cartilage can severely affect your risk of excessive bleeding plus does nothing to shrink tumors.

You have gotten a lot of bad advice from some of the people here here who have no first hand experience with cancer. I do not know your particular situation but I do know that all drug companies have patient assistance programs and the poorer you are the easier it is to qualify - so let us know the name of the drug your oncologist suggested and I'll post the link for that particular drug's patient assistance program.

Coffee, Shark Cartiladge, Mushrooms.. pure nonsense..

I am very sorry to hear of your situation. Cancer has affected my own family.

Unfortunately you cannot replace prescription drugs with vitamins and minerals and hope to survive. I know that is not what you want to hear but it is the truth.

Find out which pharmaceutical company makes the drugs you have been prescribed and ask them if they offer them for low-cost or no-cost to patients in financial need.

Does your physician know about your financial situation? How are you paying an ocologist? Perhaps he can suggest an alternative prescription.. But the choice is yours. The medicine will help you, but you have to try every option to get it before considering self-medication with alternative means.

First, contact the prescriptions assistance program.....if you explain your situation, you may get some cheaper drugs or even free ones......I would contact any organization you can think of, including the pill manufacturer, to see if you can get a better deal.....this is not something you can fool around with or something that vitamins could necessarily help with.....good luck!!

Chemo would nicely be a double edged sword! it may help get the main cancers below administration, shrink tumour length and sort of metastases yet its fantastically unsightly on an identical time as actual on the path of medicine. Your husbands healthcare expert would desire to think of he will earnings from the medical care so help your husband as ideal you are able to in the time of the weeks of medical care. good success with it, my prayers would be with you the two.

Try http://www.canceradvocacy.org & http://www.patientadvocate.org/ Also ask your doctor to refer you to some program or clinical trial. Your doctor can help by directing you to special programs that can pay part or all of your medicine. If your doctor is not interested in helping, find another doctor.

May GOD bless you with new health.

I never herd of any vitamins that can cure or
prevent cancer.I have escorted cancer patients
all over Oklahoma to Hospitals,as part of Senior
Corp. RSVP program.
There are hospitals that will treat you,and let you
pay as low as $20.00 a month, in your area.
I will put you in my prayers.

I am sorry to say
Vitamins and other supplements mentioned above will not help

If you don't want to die, get the money and do what your oncologist tells you.
He is far more qualified to give advice than anyone here.

Go to www.reliv.com. Read the health success stories in the website. It may be what you're looking for. I take Reliv, and I'll never stop taking it.

If you read those success stories and feel that you should try it too, the company can help you find a distributor.

Some sources may warn against consuming this product, but I'm still here and have eaten plenty of it. Follow directions though, don't overdo it.
