    My Husband
    My husband was diagnosed with inoperable Stage IV gallbladder cancer with metastasis into the liver in May 2009. Grief, worry and crying are all normal reactions because if you read up on this type of cancer the outcome is dismal and the survival rates are extremely low. Don't let the doctors rob you of your faith and belief that God is the healer and will do wonderous works! Even though the doctor told my husband that he will not live, I know that God is the last word and miracles do happen.

    The thought of chemo frightened me and he opted not to do it the night before the port was going to be inserted. I urge anyone that is diagnosed with cancer to do their own research before doing chemo/radiation. This treatment is only effective for the more common types of cancer because more research has been done on them versus the rare types. In addition, oncologists make money on the chemo drugs they use which makes me question if they really have the patient's best interest at heart.

    My husband instead opted to change his diet to organic, natural and non-processed foods eating only chicken and fish high in Omega 3. Do research on the types of food and supplements to ingest that have cancer fighting agents and include them in his diet. He is also using the Budwig protocol of mixing organic flaxseed oil with organic yogurt (the plan prefers organic cottage cheese but we have not been able to find it). Search the Budwig plan on-line and read up on it. He has been on the plan for only five days, but his bowels have loosened up and he said the fecal matter that is coming out looks like toxins and it makes his overactive stomach calm down. He is still very tired and hot, but his appetite is better.

    The medical community wants gallbladder cancer patients to believe that no one lives more than a few years at best after the diagnosis and I have not found any stories on-line to refute the statistics. I am of the belief that there are some out there and if anyone knows of any I would be interested in reading about it. I believe that my husband will be a survivor by God's grace and healing! I have done enough crying and lost enough sleep. Chemo was not going to help him anyway so we are spared that nightmare. It's going to be a rough road for him and everyone else on this post. I am going to pray for all of us.

    Your husband
    Dear In_Gods_Hands,
    I wanted to thank you for your post. Your post gave some hope to my brother who has inoperable Stage IV gallbladder cancer with metastasis stomach. At this point the medical community has nothing more for my brother and we are searching for alternative treatments.
    I see that your post was more than a year ago. I hope that your husband has found help and encouragement with the building of his immune system via diet and Budwig Diet.
    My brother is having a difficult time right now and has been on heavy duty pain medication. He is still able to get around but he is extremely weak. My Mother is going to start him on this Budwig Diet today and see if it may help him.
    My older sister passed away last week from metastasized pancreatic cancer. She passed away 3 months after confirmation of diagnosis.
    We have never had cancer in our family history. The link here is both were type II diabetics without good control. Both were overweight and were put on glucaphage medication for several years. Both also had high stress in their lives within the last 8 months. Both lost a tremendous amount of weight very fast.
    I appreciate your name In Gods Hands, I believe that it is in His hands. Thank you for posting this information. I pray that it helps your husband, my brother and everyone who has this awful disease.

    pmchilcote's brother
    Have you read the posts under the gallbladder cancer Stage 4? There are quite a few people that are experiencing what your brother is going through. I was told in the beginning of my diagnosis that it was inoperable. The doctor's were wrong. It took me 11 months of treatment until I was cleared for surgery. Then an additional 3 months of chemo after the surgery. It was worth all the pain, suffering and emotional upheavel to get well. I have been in remission since 03/2007. You have to put your faith in God and be your brother's advocate to help him fight this disease. I do believe that this disease loves stress. Let us know about your brother's treatment plan, where you are located, and ask any questions you want. Even though the post says Gallbladder Cancer Stage IV, there are all differnt stages posting there.

    I will be praying for you and your brother.

    Take Care

    China Studies
    I would recommend the book the china studies and it's not about china. It's a comprehensive study on diet and disease. I would recommend a person to read the whole book but chapter three would be of specific interest because it goes into explaining about cancer and it's causes. Chapter 3 is about what may cause cancer initially but the big thing is what promotes the cancer to keep growing. I think watching forks over spoons is also a good documentary to watch.

    Gallbladder Cancer - Stage IV

    My name is Edie Littlefield Sundby, San Diego, CA (treatments at Stanford Cancer Center, MD Anderson Cancer Center, and UCSD Moores Cancer Center).  I was diagnosed with stage iv gallbladder cancer in March 2007.  For information about the specifics, you can google my name and see an article in the NY Times (October 2011), and an article and video by The AARP Magazine (January 2013). If you want a detailed summary of chemo/surgery/radiation treatments please email me at edie at san dot rr dot com. I am enormously lucky and blessed, and thank God for every breath and every moment. God bless all of you.
