    I'm simply going to copy and paste information from a google.com websearch. What you really need to do is discuss your concerns with your Mom and her oncologist. There are plenty of people who make money selling hope to cancer patients and their family members. Cartilade costs $44 for 100 capsules and as per review by BC Cancer Agency Care and Research:
    Unconventional Therapies
    Cartilade
    Summary
    "Shark cartilage proved worthless in the first careful scientific study for such products last year involving shark cartilage treatment for cancer. There is a protein in cartilage that can inhibit angiogenesis in test-tube laboratory research. However, this does not mean that cartilage can fight tumors in the human body. The most serious problem is that the active ingredient in shark cartilage is too large to be absorbed into the blood stream from the digestive tract, and actually perform any function. This is what happens to the shark cartilage promoted for human use. A typical regimen of shark cartilage costs $700 per month [U.S.]

    Hi:

    The importance of caution is evidenced by Dee's info! Please be VERY careful of concoctions touted as a "cure". Common sensical dietary/health habits, together with supplements which you've discussed with your Mom's doctor's, is always good. However, be very cautious regarding anything making unsubstantiated/unproven claims about curing cancer. Some so-called non-convential, miracle "cures" for diseases can actually be harmful, in addition to failing to do anything positive aside from gobbling up your money.

    Consult a good Naturopathic Physican and/or Nutritionist, in addition to your Mom's doctor, before trying anything not regulated. In the US, items not regulated by the FDA are pretty much a "buyer beware" scenario. If you're outside the US, then your Mom's physican should be able to direct you to the proper agency for more info.

    Stay strong and good luck.
