My grandmother has stage IV esophageal cancer. She is 69 years young. I am worried because the doctors want to start a low dosage of chemo and radiation therapy. The cancer has metastized and is now in most parts of her body including her spinal column. I need some information about laetrile and where I can purchase it since it is illegal in the U.S. I also would like information the survival rate for someone her age who has this advanced stage of cancer, If only chemo and radiation therapy is used. |

Hey there,
I think at any age someone can be strong enough to get through cancer, A friend of the family did it and she was about your grandmas age. My dad is 49 and was diagnosed witha stage 4 esophageal cancer and he wasnt in the best of health but with prays of so many friends and family he made it through. At a stage like that not many people can get through it. I think with prayers and blessings your grandma can make it through... Just let her know not to give up.
all my prayers worried1

My husband (65) has stage IV esphageal cancer. He is having trouble with his platelets therefore he doesn't get regular chemo. He has had 28 radiation treatments and 6 chemo. The chemo has been spread out over 4 months. Please let me hear something encouraging from someone who has the same cancer, stage IV. He has lost about 80 pounds.
