The Truth About Cancer... a Global Quest

Cancer

you don't include your cancer diagnosis........please include some detail before we waste our time with your flick. Just trying to make sure you're not another snake oil dealer.

rude...I realize you are fairly new, so before asking it might be helpful to click on the person's name so that you can see their history and journey. You'll learn that those of us who have been on these boards for a while recognize people's names. We are all very sensitive, especially having gone through so much in our battle with cancer. Please be a bit more careful in the future, before suggesting that someone might be a snake oil salesman. In my opinion, these boards are meant to help each other and each of our path's are different.

Rude?

Not rude, just alert enough not to waste my time or anyone else's for a thing posted  by a CPA out to make money by selling more of his books.  Guess I thought this site tried to be free of that type of misinformation.  Sorry to have wasted my time.  I have some magic beans for sale.......

I might not use such strong language, but you are obviously tired of people trying to make a buck from others' pain. We have no proof that anyone on here even has cancer. There are people who will pose as a victim just to enrich their bank accounts. That's why they end up "surviving" miraculously and get richer. Sending false hope to a terminal patient just happened and it's the lowest of the low in my humble opinion. Thank you Sasu for speaking up. 

I have watched 3 people in our support group here locally, and in person, who's followed I tube videos. One young man 33 yrs old was almost done with his colon cancer chemo. Tumors almost gone who went with the cannibis cure. He stopped his chemo ands did the  Hemp. He did not get one response from anyone he had emailed who was supposedly cured. He still went to CA spent 1200. On the oil. The only responses he got were from those selling the 'cure'.  He was gone within 3months, left behind a wife and 3 kids.

Another lady did the 'eastern 'Indian diet' stopped her chemo. She was gone within 6 months and was only stage 2a.  The third went to someplace in Mexico to a spa below Tuscon, she went from stage one to stage 4 within a year.  She went back to local cancer center here but it was too far spread.

We all make our own decisions. There are many that have come on this site trying to push 'cures' to those of us who are volurnable, we don't want to die.  

Only 30% of those diagnosed with breast cancer will have a recurrence.  Some of us follow everything to a T, and still go from stage 1  to 4.  I have fought stage iv for 6+ years, and now am on hospice, reaching the end.  I don't regret my choices.  I have given this disease all the fight I have and am happy to see people check into all of these 'cures'.  What may help one person may also mean that person was never one of the 30%who would never have gotten the cancer back anyways.  let's just not do name calling because some one is questioning another 'cure'.  If these cures worked I would not be stage iv.  I tried the healthy diet of the Japanese for a long wile, it spread to my liver (I was also on chemo).  I did edibles, it helped with nausea but tumor markers still grew????  I never stopped my onco treatment, and told him of diet changes and edibles.

Just please show respect in how we address each other!

Your so wise.  Prayers continue to go up for you. 

I read these boards quite a bit.  My sister is a 14 year survivor of triple negative breast cancer.  She did the chemo and radiation and lumpectory(?).  She is followed yearly and there have been times the doctor has been concerned about something or other and all thankfully have been negative.  My Aunt fought esophageal cancer, not a smoker or drinker, but lost her battle.  My husband fought laryngeal cancer with chemo radiation and then surgery.  We thought he had beat it, but no he was diagnosed with a second primary which he fought but lost his battle a year and a half ago.  My DIL's Aunt was diagnosed with breast cancer underwent one chemo treatment and said no more.  She did have surgery but now several years later she is in the final stage of her battle but still relies all on these natural cures she reads about.

They say we all have the cancer gene and that something triggers it and whether we win or lose really isn't up to us regardless of what treatment you chose to undergo.  Some go thru so much and lose and some win.  I remember the pretty young girl who play on Family matters and she was diagnosed with uterine cancer but didn't want to undergo surgery or chem or radiation because she wanted to haver children.  She chose to go to Mexico and one of those clinics like others have done but guess what she lost and then it was too late for the radiation and chemo.  We all chose how we decide to fight this battle and it is our choice and ours alone.  I didn't try to talk my husband out of his choice which was no more.  Said he had been thru enough and he lived for another 2 1/2 years and the majority of that time was very good.  I watched and listened to my Aunt as she fought and did everything the doctors told her to, but to no avail.  She had a grandson who had been diagnosed with lukemina and he fought and won so she wanted to show him she could too.

Personally as long as cancer has been around, there is a cure but then the companies wouldn't make money off it if they put the cure on the market.   With all the ads on TV for new medicines and the side effects it scares me as to whether I would want to take it or not.
