Carl and update with natural methods
My husband in case you are new or to refresh your memory was diagnosed with colorectal cancer 9 weeks ago. Went in for his coloscopy and sent immediately for surgery. Had a couple bouts of back in the hospital after the initial release.
So far he is doing great. We have chosen at this time to go as natural as possible. They got the tumor but the local facility still want to do 6 months of chemo sandwhiched on top of 6-8 weeks of chemo/rads. Other dr.s from back east and other larger towns in our area after looking at his files have all said at most the chemo/rads is all he needs.
After much research and keeping in mind that chemo/rads may be needed at a later date we have definitely chosen to not use them at this time. He is currently doing Bloodroot, Montana Yewtip and Maitake mushrooms. Next week he begins a bundle that has all these and more. We had purchased all this prior to finding a guy in a near by town that puts together bundles specific to his cancer. His energy levels have only been increasing. Oh and he is taking Vitamin D3 and melatonin at night which not only are helping him sleep but his night sweats have stopped and we recently learned there is some connections of melatonin helping cancer.
So I will try and remember to come back with updates and how things are going and results as we go along.

I sure hope there's blind studies, etc., on this natural path your heading down.
It's a life at stake.
With TCM, there's over 3,000 years of life.
"Blind studies" has brought you:
----------
1. Vioxx - I'm sure you're familiar with this infamous anti-inflammatory. Merck had to pull Vioxx off the global market in 2004 after a clinical study demonstrated that it significantly increased the risk of cardiovascular "events" such as heart attacks and strokes.
2. Bextra - Like Vioxx, this prescription painkiller caused an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. Pfizer pulled it off the market in the U.S. a year after the Vioxx fiasco in 2005.
3. Cylert - Abbott pulled the Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) drug off the U.S. market in 2005 after the FDA discovered 13 cases of liver failure. Turns out that Cylert patients have as much as a 25 percent higher rate of liver failure compared to the general population.
4. Baycol - This cholesterol-lowering drug caused users to suffer from a much higher rate of rhabdomyolysis, a debilitating muscle ailment that can be fatal. There were 31 reported deaths that were directly linked to Baycol, and it was yanked off the market in the U.S. in 2001.
5. Palladone - This slow-release narcotic painkiller by Purdue Pharma was pulled off the market in the U.S. in 2005 because it was found to cause side effects like depression and even coma when mixed with alcohol.

Ditto!
If chemo and radiation does the trick, then it's a good deal!
There's nothing wrong with doing -whatever- it takes to get rid
of the rogue cells.
But if one sees that the methods and treatments they are getting
aren't working, or causing other bad things, then they shouldn't be
afraid to try something totally different. And I'm saying that, not
just for those taking western medicine, but for anyone using any
method or procedure; TCM, juicing, etc., included.
Chemo, toxic chemicals, and radiation aren't the only things that
are able to kill cancer cells and tumors. There are many alternatives
that have great merit, and do very well for those that have gone
that route.
Likewise, most of the alternatives do not work fast enough to
remedy a tumor that's about to kill the patient within a short amount
of time (weeks, days), so western medicine would be a better choice.
The point is, as you said so well: "Whatever gets you thru the night."
Being afraid of cancer killing us, isn't a good reason to avoid
what can save us. There are other options available, and to
discount them is downright foolish.
There are a whole lot of us out here that have opted to do other
than the mainstream medicine that's pushed daily by the industry.
One of these days, we should have a "show of hands". Perhaps
that will give some people the courage to fight for survival regardless
of the failure that they might be having with the industry's approach.
I am truly happy for all those that are alive thanks to modern medicine,
but terribly saddened by all those that I read about daily, that are dying
due to the failures of the same modern medicine.
There isn't "just one way" to fight this damned thing, and those that
encourage and perpetuate the Fear of trying something different, are
just causing the perpetuation of deaths from this malady.
Fear is never a good excuse to remain in front of a moving train,
instead of jumping off the trestle.
Stay well !!

Has to be your choice:)ron50 said:And there again
Aggressive stage 3 into 6 lymph nodes ,48 sessions of 5Fu, 216 tablets of levamisole 12 years 8mos ca free,crap health ,but ca free. Whatever gets you thru the night. Ron.
Ron I agree whatever gets one thru the night.
We did lots of weighing of our situation, homework on options we are trying, working closely with our naturopath and a local herbalist for bundles. Carls stats Stage 2, N0, M0 26 nodes all negative. The whole tumor was removed and contained w/in the colon area...was just starting to go thru the rectal wall. We know the risks of each option. For now he will do his colonoscopies, bloodwork etc but for now feels he has to try this route first if it doesn't work he will look at other routes. After 10 yrs as a wrecker driver and not being with his family if all he had left was a couple of years he doesn't want to spend it sicker than a dog the way chemo/rads will make him. He feels this is something he has to try and has it in the back of his mind that the other route may be necessary.0 -

With your cancer being a Stage II, there are people,Stage II, that chose not to do chemo or to whom chemo is not offered, depending upon the patient.
Best wishes with the route you have chosen to take.

John you are exactly right there FEAR nearly drove us to do something we had always said we would never do. Then faced with cancer square in the face we were scared of the what ifs. Over times as he was healing and researching we found that dr.s give those numbers no matter what. Dr.s throwing out numbers like only 40% chance of survival if he didn't do the chemo/rads. Locally they were wanting to do 6 months of chemo sandwiching the chemo/rads for 2 months. Talking to other oncologists this was WAY too much for Carls situation. So after much research, talking with specialists in differing fields we feel this is the best solution and in the back of our minds know that there is western medicine ways should we need to go that route.
