Hi everyone,

I was just doing some reading and saw something about the use of Tagamet to treat colon cancer. Apparently it is an over the counter medicine used to treat ulcers and can significantly increase survival time for colon cancer patients. Has anyone heard of this?

This was part of the gist of Susan's thread -- three down I think - 'more new stuff for newbies'. You can read some of the abstract there. If this is as good as it sounds, it would be awesome!

Great article. Has anyone tried it? Or has any oncologist suggested it as adjuvant therapy? Monica
