Has anyone here been diagnosed with Stage 3 colon cancer (T4aN1M0 or T4aN2M0) and had a positive outcome? I’d love to hear some success stories or words of hope.

    I'd be happy to answer any questions you have. I was diagnosed in 2023. I consider the fact that there are still treatment options for me to try that are working when I am on them a positive outcome. I consider the fact that I do have times when I don't have to do treatment and I feel great during those times a positive outcome. I'm not sure if those are the kinds of positive outcomes you were hoping for, but I got to go to my son's wedding two weeks ago, and that is a positive outcome. 😊 Stage 3 colon cancer is not easy, but I just try and focus on the positive. And with that said, I have a friend who was diagnosed with Stage 4 colorectal cancer when we were 35 and he has been NED for over 10 years now. So, yes, there can be positive outcomes! Feel free to ask more specific questions if you like. 😊

    Hi, I was dx 7 yrs ago, 3C. I ran from SOC and put a great team together for personalized treatment on a metabolic/mitochondrial level. 3 yrs ago I had 4 nodules pop up in my lungs. I refused a biopsy and plan laid out by a lung surgeon. Went to Germany for lung sparing Rolles procedure ( Dr. Kern at Dresden University Hospital) and have been NED since.

    I take some anti cancer supplements, get plenty of sun on my whole body because cells need light as we are bio-electric bodies, drink DDW water to help clear cells of deuterium so nutrients are more bioavailable, sleep on a magetico mattress pad for the neg and pos electron exchange to heal, and lastly I eat oysters and seafood twice a week for all the nutrient benefits (80+).

    That is my 3C story. I do realize I took an outside approach but just letting you know there are little things you can do to help yourself stay healthy thru treatment protocols.

    Well good luck! I was diagnosed with stage III, went through chemo, radiation, MRI's , PET scans, CT scans, cholenoscopy, and bloodwork. I gained all my lost 40 lbs. back, I can walk long distances, climb ladders, mow lawns, dig postholes , saw and chop wood.And I don't have to wear a bag. But, there are problems; mostly with my oncologist who says that I need more tests; he wants me to to go through biopsies which are extremely dangerous when they cut through scar tissue to access the lymph nodes for inspection as this can cause serious bleeding , infection or "seeding " of cancer cells. The oncologist also wants me to try an MRI with 2 Fleet enemas and insertion of glycogen into my rectum and colon; all of this is absolutely dangerous if you read the article from the Food and Drug Administration it can be life threatening.I am refusing the MRI with enemas and also the biopsy after I found out that at times biopsies take anywhere from 6-16 samples. I sent him registered mail with data from the FDA which he refused to open and just sent RTS back to me . He also has refused to order removal of my Bard smart port . His final response was "we just want to make sure"; which has been a relentless trail of tests and inspections. If you want to hear my words of hope; "read the history of medical applications, investigate the benefits and end results , get second opinions on everything , and look into herbal medicines. Life is short"
